Diagnosis and treatment experience of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia: A multicenter retrospective study in China
The imaging of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia usually shows consolidation with bronchial inflation sign, which can also be manifested as ground glass changes or solid masses. Atypical images are prone to misdiagnosis in the early stages. There are some differences in laboratory examination and imaging between severe pneumonia and non-severe pneumonia, which can help identify severe patients in the early stage. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) played an important role in the diagnosis of all cases in this article. Timely treatment has a good prognosis for the disease, and imaging lesions can be completely absorbed.
