Serum IgG titers to periodontal pathogens predict 3-month outcome in ischemic stroke patients.

Serum IgG titers to periodontal pathogens predict 3-month outcome in ischemic stroke patients.

Several cohort studies have shown that periodontal disease is associated with an increased risk for stroke. However, it remains unclear whether serum antibody titers for a specific periodontal pathogen are associated with outcome after ischemic stroke, and which kinds of pathogens are associated wit...
