Clinical features and outcome of eight patients with Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia diagnosed by targeted next generation sequencing

ConclusionsA poultry or bird contact history, typical flu-like symptoms, patchy consolidation, ground-glass density shadow and air bronchogram may contribute to the diagnosis and treatment ofC. psittaci pneumonia. Increase in creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzyme and hs-TnT may indicate a severe condition. Moxifloxacin and minocycline were effective in the management ofC. psittaci pneumonia.
