Chlamydia pneumoniae, strain TWAR, as the cause of an outbreak in a boys' school previously called psittacosis.

J V Pether1, S P Wang, J T Grayston.   

Abstract

Sera from an outbreak of acute respiratory illness in a boys boarding school originally thought to have been due to psittacosis (1) have been re-examined and evidence is presented that suggests that the outbreak was caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae, strain TWAR (2).
