We describe a patient with Chlamydia pneumoniae infection who presented with cerebellar dysfunction, followed by respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. C. pneumoniae is an important respiratory pathogen, and other clinical manifestations, including neurological syndromes, are being increasingly recognized. Meningoencephalitis and other neurological complications have also been described in patients with infections due to Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydial infections should be included in the differential diagnosis of neurological syndromes, including cerebellar dysfunction.
我们描述了一名肺炎衣原体感染患者，该患者最初表现为小脑功能障碍，随后出现呼吸衰竭，需要机械通气。肺炎衣原体是一种重要的呼吸道病原体，包括神经综合征在内的其他临床表现正越来越多地得到认识。鹦鹉热衣原体和沙眼衣原体感染患者也有脑膜脑炎及其他神经并发症的报道。衣原体感染应纳入包括小脑功能障碍在内的神经综合征的鉴别诊断中。
