Acute Follicular Conjunctivitis of Epizootic Origin

Detection ofChlamydophila pneumoniaein cats with conjunctivitis

“…Based on the small number of C. felis ‐positive samples, it was not possible to make an accurate statement about the correlation of gender, housing, vaccination status, and age with positive results, but findings are in agreement with previously published literature 1–3,15,17,19,26,27,32 . The zoonotic potential of C. felis is known, and transmission from cats to human beings is well documented 20–26 …”

Zoonotic transmission of Chlamydia felis from domestic cats; A case series of chronic follicular conjunctivitis in humans

“…Here we describe three cases of C. felis -associated papillary conjunctivitis over a period of 6 years from 2017 until 2022. C. felis is considered a rare cause of papillary conjunctivitis in humans, with only 6 cases reported in the literature over a period of 48 years prior to the three cases that we report here [ 3 , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] ]. Two from the three cases that we report here were detected by “mistake” when samples were screened for Chlamydia spp.…”

Infective endocarditis with glomerulonephritis associated with cat chlamydia (C. psittaci) infection.

“…The cat chlamydia agent has previously been shown to cause conjunctivitis in man (Ostler et al, 1969). There have been previous reports of infective endocarditis caused by C. psittaci (Levison et al, 1971) (none of those with complicating glomerulonephritis have recovered).…”
