• Veterinarian

  To evaluate the prevalence of antibodies to Chlamydophila psittaci 364 serum samples were collected from veterinarians, biologists, animal scientists, veterinary students, animal keepers and others employees in 20 zoos, and from veterinary practitioners [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Treatment Treatment should be supervised by a licensed veterinarian (see Appendix 2). The location for treatment should be discussed with the veterinarian and frequently is conducted on an outpatient basis. Part III. [doi.org]

  Humans with symptomatic infections typically have an abrupt onset of fever, chills, headache, malaise, and myalgia. A nonproductive cough is usually present and can be accompanied by breathing difficulty or chest tightness. [doi.org]

• Pneumonia

  The most common presentation is atypical pneumonia. Three cases of pneumonia of varying severity due to psittacosis are described. All patients had a history of avian contact. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Sputum

  Psittacosis was confirmed by detection of 16S rRNA gene of C. psittasi in sputum with multiplex-polymerase chain reaction analysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Specimen Collection and Handling Submission and Collection Notes 1 Unsuitable specimens: dry swabs and bird droppings are not acceptable for testing. 2 Sputum and cerebrospinal fluid are accepted but not optimal specimens. 3 Patient clinical history must [publichealthontario.ca]

• Cough

  Most commonly noted symptoms are fever, headache and cough, but a number of other symptoms or complications may arise such as renal impairment, hepatitis or neurological symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The chlamydia cause respiratory infection manifested with fever, malaise, cough, dyspnea, sore throat, photophobia and headaches. [icd10data.com]

  A nonproductive cough is usually present and can be accompanied by breathing difficulty or chest tightness. A pulse-temperature dissociation (fever without increased pulse rate), enlarged spleen, or nonspecific rash is sometimes observed. [doi.org]

• Dry Cough

  Herein we report a 44-year-old male patient displaying atypical pneumonia symptoms of intermittent fever, dry cough, chest pain, dyspnea, headache, hepatitis, and hyponatremia. He had two sick cockatiels, one of which had died a month previously. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Irritability

  Many disinfectants are respiratory irritants for both humans and birds and should be used in a well-ventilated area. Avoid mixing disinfectants with any other product. [doi.org]

• Chlamydia

  This paper also provides some methodological suggestions for future studies in the field of chlamydia-lymphoma associations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Two new species, Chlamydia muridarum sp. nov. and Chlamydia suis sp. nov., join Chlamydia trachomatis in the emended genus Chlamydia. [doi.org]

Our data also suggest that the methylation statuses of IRAK1 and CXCL6 may reflect the response to doxycycline treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Nevertheless, signs of keratoconjunctivitis persisted despite 3-week treatment with oral doxycycline. As a result, the patient received an additional 10-day treatment with oral azithromycin. [synapse.koreamed.org]

Abstract The identities of chlamydial strains, which can infect a given host, are important to know for disease prognosis, disease control, and epidemiology. [doi.org]

We provide evidence on the multifactorial infectious etiology of respiratory disease in turkeys. Although Chlamydophila psittaci is difficult to diagnose, this entity should not be neglected in veterinary diagnostic laboratories. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiologic agent Chlamydia psittaci, an intracellular gram-negative bacterium that commonly infects birds, causes psittacosis in humans. C. psittaci, along with C. pneumoniae and C. trachomatis, are members of the bacterial family Chlamydiaceae. [cdc.gov]

Physicians should consider psittacosis in ill patients exposed to known infected birds or in those with compatible clinical illness when other etiologies have been excluded and collect human specimens for laboratory analysis if indicated. [doi.org]

This review therefore gives an overview of the epidemiology, symptoms, diagnosis and possible treatments for psittacosis in humans. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

As illustrated in our review, we indeed acknowledge the existing evidence supporting this association in certain but not all geographical areas as well as the epidemiologic and scientific approaches the authors have undertaken. 1, 2 However, there is [bloodjournal.org]
