Description
Summary:	The infectious agents most frequently associated with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoproliferations are Helicobacter pylori, Helicobacter heilmannii, hepatitis C virus, Campylobacter jejuni, Borrelia burgdorferi, and Chlamydia psittaci. [1] Toll like receptors are a part of the innate immune system that have been shown to recognize bacterial ligands and some autoantigens which results in the activation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
