Abstract:
This paper analyzed the clinical data of a patient with recurrent infection of chlamydia psittaci pneumonia within 7 months. The patient had a clear history of contact with live poultry, and the clinical manifestations were dry cough, persistent fever, and respiratory failure. Chest CT imaging changes showed lobar consolidation of infected lung lobes, ground-glass shadows, bronchial air-filling signs, and pleural effusion. The two infections were detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and pathogen targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS), respectively, to achieve early diagnosis of chlamydia psittaci pneumonia. New tetracycline drugs were used as the core of treatment for both infections, and rapid improvement was achieved after anti-infection treatment.
