Chlamydia pneumoniae infections have earlier been described as mycoplasma-like illnesses in young people, and also appear to be associated with community-acquired pneumonia in adults. In this retrospective study, 12.2% (23/188) of patients with pneumonia who required hospitalization during the 3 years 1985-87 had serological evidence of recent C. pneumoniae infection. Many of these patients had symptoms similar to ornithosis. The most interesting finding was that half of the patients with a 4-fold IgG antibody titre rise to C. pneumoniae also had an increased alkaline phosphatase concentration.
肺炎衣原体感染早期被描述为年轻人中的支原体样疾病，并且似乎也与成人社区获得性肺炎有关。在这项回顾性研究中，1985 - 1987年这3年间需要住院治疗的肺炎患者中有12.2%（23/188）有近期肺炎衣原体感染的血清学证据。这些患者中有许多人有类似鸟疫的症状。最有趣的发现是，肺炎衣原体IgG抗体滴度升高4倍的患者中有一半其碱性磷酸酶浓度也升高。
