Epidemiological and molecular characteristics of Chlamydia psittaci from 8 human cases of psittacosis and 4 related birds in Argentina

Abstract: In Argentina, the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of Chlamydia psittaci infections are still not sufficiently known. A total of 846 respiratory and 10 ocular samples from patients with suspected human psittacosis were tested for C. psittaci from January 2010 to March 2015. Four samples of birds related to these patients were also studied. Forty-eight samples were positive for C. psittaci by a nested PCR. The molecular characterization of twelve C. psittaci PCR-positive samples received in the Nat… Show more

“…[34][35][36][37] Both genotypes are zoonotic, but human infection is mostly associated with genotype A causing a more severe course of disease. [38][39][40] Chlamydiaceae were not detected in any other bird order included in this study. Partly, the low infection rate might be due to the selection of study samples.…”

“…Os achados mais frequentes são consolidação segmentar (31%) e consolidação lobar (21%), as quais ocorrem principalmente nos lobos inferiores. 1 A contagem de células leucocitárias é geralmente normal, podendo ocasionalmente haver marcada leucocitose. A PCR está frequentemente elevada.…”

“…Provocam uma doença disseminada caracterizada por pneumonite e que está englobada nas pneumonias atípicas. 1 Caracteriza-se por um quadro com manifestações sistémicas proeminentes e alguns sintomas respiratórios. 1 Numa meta-análise de estudos observacionais, a C. psittaci foi estimada como causadora de aproximadamente 1% dos casos de pneumonia adquirida na comunidade (PAC).…”
