Chlamydia Psittaci Pneumonia-Induced Myocarditis: A Case Report.

The incidence of  infection has been reported to increase in recent years. The presentation of psittacosis infection varied widely, from none to severe symptoms. Mainly, psittacosis infection presents with pulmonary manifestations. Here, we report the case of a 60-year-old female patient with pneumonia complicated by myocarditis. After administering antibiotics, the patient recovered from severe atypical pneumonia and myocarditis. In general, rarely induces myocarditis. Moreover, the optimal therapeutic strategies remain unclear for such cases, especially with a high troponin T level. Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (mNGS) can provide a quick and effective diagnosis of pneumonia; early intervention (antibiotic therapy and nutritional supplements for myocarditis) favors a good outcome, although complications may worsen the condition. Therefore, more studies are required to help improve understanding of the disease.
