Résumé

Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia is a community-acquired pneumonia caused by Chlamydia psittaci. While severe cases may lead to critical conditions such as respiratory failure, splenic infarction is relatively uncommon. A severe patient with Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia admitted to our hospital experienced a splenic infarction during treatment. Fortunately, the patient's situation was improved after careful treatment. Now, the patient has been discharged. Further exploration of the mechanism of concurrent splenic infarction is required. Psittacosis pneumonia, a zoonotic infectious disease transmitted from birds to humans, is caused by Chlamydia psittaci and represents a type of chlamydial pneumonia [1]. Insome instances, the disease may progress to severe pneumonia and respiratory failure, necessitating intensive support measures, including mechanical ventilation. The advent of technologies such as Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (mNGS) for the etiological diagnosis of infectious diseases [2] has improved the diagnostic and treatment success rates for Psittacosis. Instances of severe chlamydial pneumonia with complications such as splenic infarction are uncommon. A patient with severe Psittacosis pneumonia complicated by splenic infarction was admitted to the Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) of Haining People's Hospital and subsequently improved following effective anti-infective and anticoagulant therapy. This report is provided herein.
