Hepatic involvement is considered a rare complication of psittacosis. Occurrence of icteric hepatitis as the cardinal manifestation of the disease has been rarely reported. We describe two members of a family infected by psittacosis, in whom icteric hepatitis was the prominent expression of the disease. The diagnosis of psittacosis was confirmed by isolation of the pathogen and by detection of serum antibodies to Chlamydia species. No serological evidence for acute TWAR infection was found. Chlamydia psittaci was also isolated from the family's parrot.
肝脏受累被认为是鹦鹉热的一种罕见并发症。以黄疸性肝炎作为该疾病的主要表现鲜有报道。我们描述了一个感染鹦鹉热的家庭中的两名成员,他们以黄疸性肝炎作为该疾病的突出表现。通过病原体分离和检测衣原体属血清抗体确诊为鹦鹉热。未发现急性TWAR感染的血清学证据。还从该家庭的鹦鹉中分离出鹦鹉热衣原体。
