Abstract:
Severe Chlamydia psittaci(C.psittaci)pneumonia with sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL)as the initial symptom is clinically rare.This paper reports a case of C.psittaci pneumonia whose initial symptom was hearing loss.During the disease course,clinical manifestations such as high fever,cough,and shortness of breath appeared successively.Chest CT results suggested pulmonary infection.After metagenomic next-generation sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid,the diagnosis of C.psittaci pneumonia was confirmed.After anti-infec-tion treatment with moxifloxacin combined with doxycycline,hearing loss and pulmonary infection improved signifi-cantly.Combined with literature review,this study systematically explores the epidemiological characteristics,clini-cal manifestations,diagnostic methods,treatment schemes,and prevention strategies of C.psittaci pneumonia,ai-ming to provide diagnostic and treatment references for clinicians and microbiology laboratories to achieve early diag-nosis and treatment,avoid misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis,and improve patient prognosis.
