Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia diagnosed by metagenomics next-generation sequencing: a case report
Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia is a relatively rare zoonotic disease. However, lack of specific clinical symptoms, effective and rapid laboratory diagnosis methods and clear epidemiological data sometimes may make it difficult to diagnose the disease. This paper reports a case of Chlamydia psittaci pn...

| Summary: | Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia is a relatively rare zoonotic disease. However, lack of specific clinical symptoms, effective and rapid laboratory diagnosis methods and clear epidemiological data sometimes may make it difficult to diagnose the disease. This paper reports a case of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia diagnosed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), suggesting that mNGS technology has high clinical application value in the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia with unknown pathogens. |
