Core Tip	Several studies support the hypothesis that the infectious burden (IB) may be more involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis than any single pathogen. However, because of the complexity of the interplay of more infectious agents in the host and the limitations of the methods available for the assessment of IB, the role of IB in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis may have been underestimated.
