Background: Psittacosis is a zoonotic disease with a low incidence rate and a lack of specificity in clinical manifestations, making it prone to be missed, misdiagnosed, and even cause delayed treatment for patients. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was successfully performed for the diagnosis of a young patient with psittacosis progressing to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and precisely targeted antibiotic treatment was promptly administered. Additionally, a comprehensive review was conducted on 68 cases of psittacosis complicated with ARDS, with the goal of improving the clinical awareness of this disease.

is an obligate intracellular bacterium that primarily infects birds, but can cause respiratory infections in humans. Clinical evidence supporting the use of omadacycline for the treatment of pneumonia remains limited; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the potential of omadacycline in treating pneumonia by analyzing the patients' clinical outcomes and the drug safety profile. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 15 patients with pneumonia treated at the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between January and December 2023.
