Chlamydia abortus, as a pathogen of atypical pneumonia, is rare in humans, especially in HIV infection patients.
We present the case of a 48-year-old man with a history of HIV infection who started high fever and developed pneumonia. The pathogen-targeted next-generation sequencing (ptNGS) results of bronchial lavage fluid showed Chlamydia abortus infection.
This is the first report of Chlamydia abortus infection presented as atypical pneumonia in an AIDS patient.

我们报告了 1 例 48 岁 HIV 感染病史的男性患者,该患者出现高热并发展为肺炎。支气管灌洗液的靶向病原体下一代测序(ptNGS)结果显示鹦鹉热衣原体感染。
这是首例 HIV 感染患者以非典型性肺炎为表现的鹦鹉热衣原体感染病例。
