A Family Outbreak of Chlamydia psittaci Infection

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1996
A family outbreak (3 cases) of Chlamydia psittaci infection was reported. The first case, a 56-year-old man was admitted with fever and general fatigue. Chest X-ray film revealed a consolidation in the right lower lung. One month before admission he had purchased 2 parakeets (chick) and one parakeet died.

Pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir, tenofovir and lamivudine during venous–venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‐ECMO): A case report

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 5, Page 1487-1492, May 2026.
While providing potentially life‐saving cardiorespiratory support for critically ill patients, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may detrimentally affect pharmacokinetic (PK) performance and concurrent drug efficacy and safety. We describe a patient with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in the context of acquired immunodeficiency ...

Chlamydia avium‐associated hepatitis in a fancy pigeon (Columba livia f. domestica)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 5‐year‐old, male, fancy pigeon (Columba livia f. domestica, 380 g), found dead without prior clinical signs, was submitted for diagnostic postmortem examination. Histologically, the animal exhibited heterophilic to mononuclear hepatitis consistent with avian chlamydiosis; however, Chlamydia psittaci‐specific real‐time polymerase chain ...
