ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate CT features of Chlamydia psittaci(C.psittaci)pneumonia patients.Methods Ten patients with C.psittaci pneumonia were collected retrospectively based on macro gene second-generation sequencing(mNGS).The radiological manifestations of the disease were analyzed.Results Seven patients(70%)had contact history with birds(poultry)or their feces.Chest CT on the day of admission was mainly mass patchy consolidation,all of which were located in single lung,involving 8 cases(80%)with one lobe and 2 cases(20%)with two lobes.All of them were accompanied by air bronchogram,9 cases(90%)with ground glass shadow and 8 cases(80%)with interstitial changes.One case(10%)showed a reversed halo sign,and 1 case(10%)showed fan-shaped consolidation.Nine cases(90%)showed progress with increased fusion or new lesions within nine days.Conclusion CT findings of C.psittaci pneumonia have certain characteristics,and combining with history of contacting birds(poultry)can suggest diagnosis.
