TI  - [A family outbreak of Chlamydia psittaci infection].
PG  - 377-81
AB  - 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. On learning 
      of his history of contact with the chick, psittacosis was suspected. After 
      administration of fixation (CF) antibody titer against chlamydia rose to 1:128 
      and IgA titer against Chlamydia psittaci by microimmunofluorescence antibody 
      technique (MAF) rose to 1:128 in 21 days after admission. The second case, the 
      wife of the first, a 53-year-old woman had a fever and a cough about two weeks 
      before the admission of the first case. At the time of her husband was admitted, 
      she attended the outpatient department. The chest CT X-ray film showed a ground 
      glass appearance in both lower lung fields. The third case, the daughter of the 
      first, didn't have any signs. Chest X-ray film was normal. But IgM titer against 
      Chlamydia psittaci by MAF rose to 1:16 and IgA titer against Chlamydia psittaci 
      by MAF rose to 1:128. This case was considered as inapparent infection.
