A 59-year-old man in previously good health had acute, progressive bronchopneumonia and died after a three-week course of illness, despite treatment with various antibiotics. Serologic, microbiologic, and histologic findings indicated infection with both Chlamydia psittaci and Aspergillus fumigatus. Disseminated, invasive aspergillosis sometimes is a complication of chronic respiratory disease, malignancy, or other deficiency of host defenses, but to our knowledge, this is the first report of psittacosis as a coincidental, probably predisposing disease.
一名59岁身体健康的男性患急性进行性支气管肺炎，病程三周后死亡，尽管接受了多种抗生素治疗。血清学、微生物学和组织学检查结果表明，该患者感染了鹦鹉热衣原体和烟曲霉。播散性侵袭性曲霉病有时是慢性呼吸道疾病、恶性肿瘤或其他宿主防御功能缺陷的并发症，但据我们所知，这是首例将鹦鹉热作为一种可能的诱发疾病同时出现的报告。
