Three cases of atypical pneumonia caused by Chlamydophila psittaci.
Psittacosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Chlamydophila psittaci. The most common presentation is atypical pneumonia. Three cases of pneumonia of varying severity due to psittacosis are described. All patients had a history of avian contact. The diagnosis was confirmed by molecular detection of Chlamydophila psittaci in respiratory specimens. The cases showed good recovery with doxycycline tr...
متن کاملA Virus from Cases of Atypical Pneumonia Relation to the Viruses of Meningopneumonitis and Psittacosis* by Monroe
The isolation of three different etiologic agents from atypical bronchopneumonias has recently been reported. Dyer, Topping, and Bengston (1) have described an outbreak of pneumonitis apparently resulting from laboratory infections in which the rickettsiae of American Q fever were shown to be the cause. Weir and Horsfall (2) have reported infection of the mongoose with a filterable agent from c...
متن کاملFurther Laboratory Studies on the Classification of Psittacosis-like Agents
1. It was demonstrated by pathogenicity and latency tests in mammals and birds that variations exist among a group of viruses, isolated from several sources and producing coccoid elementary bodies resembling those of psittacosis. 2. Active cross immunity tests emphasized these differences and confirmed their significance. 3. On the basis of the present experimental evidence the psittacosis-like...
متن کاملComparative Study of Meningopneumonitis Virus, Psittacosis of Pigeon Origin, and Psittacosis of Parrot Origin
Comparative morphological, histological, and biological studies suggest a close relationship between the meningopneumonitis virus of Francis and Magill and a virus recovered from thiamin-deficient pigeons. Both of these viruses are morphologically identical with typical psittacosis, and it seems probable that they are biologically modified strains of psittacosis. They both differ from typical p...
متن کاملA Virus from Cases of Atypical Pneumonia
From the lungs of two fatal cases and from the sputum of two non-fatal cases of atypical bronchopneumonia, a psittacosis-like virus was isolated by direct intranasal inoculation of mice. Intraperitoneal injection of the same human material into mice gave negative results. The virus has a relatively high virulence for mice by intranasal or intra-cerebral inoculation, but does not kill after intr...
