C. pneumoniae Responsible for 1%–20% cases of community-acquired pneumonia Human-to-human transmission through respiratory droplets or contact Presents with fever , cough, shortness of breath Varies in sever
Background Although several studies found associations between infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae and asthma, these were mainly restricted to the exacerbation of the symptoms in adults with known asthma. Data about the role of C pneumoniae in the initiation and development of asthma in children are ...
Chlamydophila pneumoniae In recent years,Chlamydophila pneumoniaehas been recognized as an increasingly common respiratory pathogen in both children and adults. Formerly known as the Taiwan acuterespiratory agent(TWAR) agent and placed in the same genus asChlamydia trachomatis,it has now been placed...

C trachomatis infection causes other diseases as well, including conjunctivitis, pneumonia or pneumonitis,[5] afebrile pneumonia syndrome (in infants born vaginally to infected mothers), Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, and trachoma (the world’s leading cause of acquired blindness).[6] C pneumoniae ...
pneumoniae was negative in both patients and controls. Chlamydia LPS was detected in enteroendocrine cells of the mucosa in 90% of positive biopsies and in subepithelial macrophages in 69% of biopsies. Biopsies taken at different time points in 19 patients revealed persistence of Chlamydia LPS up ...
young adults, older adults (reinfection), and those who live or work in crowded settings such as schools, college residence halls, military barracks, long-term care settings, hospitals, and prisons are more likely to contract this infection. The common symptoms ofC. pneumoniaeare runny or s...

This parachlamydial serology appeared to be highly specific, exhibiting no cross-reactivity, or marginal cross-reactivity, with Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, W. chondrophila, S. negevensis and Criblamydia sequanensis [15]. The documented cross-reactivity between P. acanthamoebae ...
