摘要

Psittacosis is a systemic zoonotic infection with protean clinical features. The major risk factor is exposure to birds; bird owners, veterinarians, those involved with breeding and selling birds, and commercial poultry processors are most at risk. Patients typically present with 1 week of fevers, headache, myalgias, and a nonproductive cough. Although pneumonia is the most common manifestation, all organ systems can be involved. Serology remains the mainstay of diagnosis; however, polymerase chain reaction techniques offer a rapid and specific alternative. Doxycycline is the treatment of choice.

Atypical pneumonia caused by Chlamydia psittaci during the COVID-19 pandemic

Qiaoqiao Yin, Yuecui Li, Hongyi Pan, Tianchen Hui, Zhaonan Yu, Haiyan Wu, Dehe Zhang, Wei Zheng, Shouhao Wang, Zhewen Zhou, Chengan Xu, Wenhao Wu, Yongxi Tong, Haoyi Wang, Hongying Pan

Summary: This study retrospectively described the diagnosis and treatment of 32 cases of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia during the COVID-19 pandemic. It suggests that human psittacosis may be underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed clinically, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can be a rapid and accurate method for detecting suspected pathogens.

Clinical Analysis of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing Confirmed Chlamydia psittaci Pneumonia: A Case Series and Literature Review

Xin-Qi Teng, Wen-Cheng Gong, Ting-Ting Qi, Guo-Hua Li, Qiang Qu, Qiong Lu, Jian Qu

Summary: Chlamydia psittaci infection is a zoonotic infectious disease mainly transmitted through inhalation of aerosols containing pathogenic bacteria from poultry secretions. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) provides a rapid and promising diagnostic tool for C. psittaci pneumonia. Clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with mNGS included fever, cough, hypodynamia, hypoxemia, and dyspnea, with good outcomes from treatment with antibiotics like doxycycline or moxifloxacin. Further studies are needed to confirm mNGS as an effective tool for rapid diagnosis of C. psittaci pneumonia.

Equine Psittacosis and the Emergence of Chlamydia psittaci as an Equine Abortigenic Pathogen in Southeastern Australia: A Retrospective Data Analysis

Charles El-Hage, Alistair Legione, Joanne Devlin, Kristopher Hughes, Cheryl Jenkins, James Gilkerson

Summary: In recent years, the bacteria Chlamydia psittaci has been identified as a cause of equine reproductive loss in Australia and can also infect humans. The lack of awareness among horse owners and others working in the equine industry increases the risk to human and equine health. This study aimed to summarize cases of equine psittacosis in Australia from 2018 to 2022 and contribute to our understanding of this infection.

Application of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in the Diagnosis of Pneumonia Caused by Chlamydia psittaci

Junli Tang, Wanmei Tan, Lingxin Luo, Huan Xu, Na Li

Summary: Psittacosis pneumonia is easily underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed. This study uses mNGS in the diagnosis of psittacosis pneumonia. It is prone to occur in the cold season, and touching the innards of killed poultry during cooking may be an atypical exposure history that has not been reported before. There are sporadic cases and family outbreak cases as well. In addition to typical symptoms of fever and weakness, headache may be the main and only symptom in some patients. The rate of severe pneumonia is high among inpatients with psittacosis pneumonia, and the incidence of hepatic involvements is also high. Psittacosis pneumonia can be cured if the diagnosis is accurate and timely, even if it is severe pneumonia on admission. Some worthy attention about psittacosis pneumonia were put forward, such as its sick season, special exposure history, the rate of severe disease, and the high cure rate. mNGS can quickly and objectively detect more rare pathogenic microorganisms in clinical specimens without the need for specific amplification and has an advantage in the diagnosis of rare pathogenic bacteria in difficult cases such as psittacosis pneumonia. The use of mNGS can improve the accuracy and reduce the delay in the diagnosis of psittacosis, which shortens the course of disease control.

Acute abdominal pain as the first symptom of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia complicated by acute pancreatitis: a case report

Changquan Fang, Yanjun Xie, Hui Mai, Limin Xu

Summary: This case report presents a patient with C. psittaci pneumonia complicated by acute pancreatitis. The patient experienced acute upper abdominal pain and developed severe pyrexia and dyspnea. Chest CT scan revealed patchy consolidation in the left lung. The disease rapidly progressed, leading to liver and kidney damage and type 1 respiratory failure. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing confirmed the presence of C. psittaci. Treatment with doxycycline and moxifloxacin resulted in significant resolution of abdominal pain and lung infection.

Case Report: A case of Chlamydia psittaci infection in an HIV patient

Wenwu Yao, Xuhui Yang, Jinchuan Shi, Zhangnv Yang, Ying Yao, Jun Kou, Shelan Liu, Linbo Wang, Zhuoyin Wu, Guoxiang Shi, Hao Yan, Yajun Song

Summary: This case describes the first report of a psittacosis infection in a human immunodeficiency virus infected patient in Zhejiang Province. The pathogen responsible for the disease, Chlamydia psittaci, has the ability to infect a wide range of birds and humans. Confirmation of C. psittaci infection was done using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Real-Time PCR, with phylogenetic analysis revealing clustering with genotype A. This study emphasizes the importance of considering psittacosis in patients with chronic diseases such as HIV, and highlights the need for increased awareness and surveillance of psittacosis in China.
