Some really good #ClinicalPearls about #Psittacosis with a short #medtweetorial

Something mentioned in today's @CPSolvers #VMR

It's not something that I commonly ask patients with #CAP but I think I will insert the question about them owning a parrot or bird into my questioning
In the 1960s and 1970s it was the model organism that laid the foundation for modern chlamydia research.

Psittacosis is also known as avian chlamydiosis, ornithosis, and parrot fever.

It causes an atypical pneumonia when it infects the lungs.
All birds are susceptible, pet birds and poultry are most frequently involved in transmission to humans but not human to human

It can also be found in non-avian domestic animals, such as cattle & sheep, but cases of clinical disease & transmission to humans have not been proven
