Chlamydial infection showing migratory pulmonary infiltrates.

چکیده
A 70-year old man was admitted to our hospital because of nonproductive cough, fever and increasing dyspnea associated with alveolar opacities on chest roentgenogram, which later migrated to previously unaffected areas. The diagnosis of Chlamydial pneumonitis was made on serological grounds. Organizing pneumonia was documented by transbronchial lung biopsies and the subsequent course was satisfactory under minocycline therapy. Chlamydial infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of migratory pulmonary infiltrates.

متن کاملEffect of simvastatin, an established lipid-lowering drug, on pulmonary Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in mice.
The effects of simvastatin treatment on Chlamydia pneumoniae lung infection, inflammation, and serum lipids in mouse model were studied. Simvastatin decreased viable chlamydial counts and increased inflammatory cell infiltrates in the lung tissue, suggesting that simvastatin treatment had both antichlamydial and immunomodulatory effects during an acute C. pneumoniae infection.

A 37-year-old Japanese woman, who was not vaccinated against Bordetella pertussis, developed a nocturnal fever with persistent dry cough for more than 2 weeks. A chest radiograph showed poorly-defined nodular opacities in the left lung. Due to the significant rise in serum antibodies for both Mycoplasma pneumoniae and B. pertussis, a diagnosis of dual infection with the organisms was made. Desp...
