Comparison of clinical features between Chlamydia psittaci and Legionella

Several characteristics aid in differentiating <i>C. psittaci</i> pneumonia from <i>L</i>. pneumonia, including exposure to poultry, relative bradycardia, some infection indicators, ALT, AST, and CK. NGS addresses the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods. The early application of NGS facilitates the diagnosis of atypical pneumonia. Multivariate regression analysis suggested that underlying diseases, residing in countryside, relative bradycardia, and LMR is significant in differentiating <i>C. psittaci</i> pneumonia and <i>L</i>. pneumonia.
