Using ameba coculture, we grew a Naegleria endosymbiont. Phenotypic, genetic, and phylogenetic analyses supported its affiliation as Protochlamydia naegleriophila sp. nov. We then developed a specific diagnostic PCR for Protochlamydia spp. When applied to bronchoalveolar lavages, results of this PCR were positive for 1 patient with pneumonia. Further studies are needed to assess the role of Pro...

Community-acquired pneumonias are difficult to diagnose. For this reason, we have attempted to evaluate the correct diagnosis by using noninvasive methods which are easy to follow outside the hospital environment. To achieve this, 165 patients exhibiting the clinical and roentgenographic symptoms characteristic of pneumonia, have been studied from a bacteriologic, serologic, and statistical sta...
