  A previously healthy 29-year-old man was admitted to our hospital, with a 4-day history of fever ( 39 C), rigours, diaphoresis, fatigue and retro-orbital headache. On examination, he was febrile (37.8 C) and tachycardic (110 bpm). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The disease usually starts as influenza like syndrome with fever, illness, headache, scratchy sore throat and cough as the predominant symptoms. Chlamydophila pneumoniae has been associated with pharyngitis, sinusitis and bronchitis. [mikrogen.de]
