摘　　要：Psittacosis is a zoonosis caused by Chlamydia psittaci,a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium.This condition is caused by the ingestion of contaminated fecal matter and nasal secretions from infected birds.The severity of human psittacosis varies from mildflu-like symptoms to life-threatening severe pneumonia.[1]Given that C.psittaci is not a part of the traditional microbiological diagnosis’human psittacosis is often underreported,misdiagnosed,and inadequately diagnosed.In this study,the clinical data of C.psittaci pneumonia patients were retrospectively analyzed.
