Infections Caused by Chlamydophila pneumoniae [PDF]

Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2014
High affinity to the epithelial lining of the airways makes Chlamydophila pneumoniae a common etiological agent of respiratory tract infections (RTI). It causes among others: pharyngitis, tracheitis, sinusitis, otitis media, bronchitis and bronchiolitis, and pneumonia. It is estimated that Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection is responsible for about 20%

Zoonotic Chlamydophila psittaci infections from a clinical perspective [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009
Human psittacosis is a zoonotic infectious disease which is caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydophila psittaci. Transmission of the disease usually originates from close contact with infected birds, most frequently in the context of the poultry industry, and from contact with Psittaciformes (cockatoos, parrots, parakeets and lories).

Chlamydophila Felis Infection: ABCD Guidelines on Prevention and Management

Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, 2009
OverviewChlamydophila felis is a Gram-negative bacterium and its primary target is the conjunctiva. The bacterium does not survive outside the host. Infection Transmission requires close contact between cats; ocular secretions are probably the most important body fluid for infection. Most cases occur in cats under 1 year of age.

Severe acute asthma caused by Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection

Respirology Case Reports, 2017
Asthma exacerbation is associated with respiratory infections, including those by viruses and atypical bacteria. We herein report a case of severe acute asthma in an adult caused by Chlamydophila pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) infection. A 39‐year‐old woman without a history of asthma reported to the emergency department with progressive worsening of cough,

Single and multiple pathogen associations with cognitive impairment in the Panama Aging Research Initiative Study [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in developing countries is expected to rise as a result of increases in life expectancy and the ageing of the population (1). Accumulating evidence implicates pathogens as triggers of inflammation and development of cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disorders, including AD (2‐4 ...
