Endocarditis as a manifestation of Chlamydia B infection (psittacosis).

D C Dick, C G McGregor, K G Mitchell, R G Sommerville, D J Wheatley.   

Abstract

A case of Chlamydia B (psittacosis) endocarditis is described in a patient with no known previous valve disease. After mitral valve replacement a fall in Chlamydia B antibody titre occurred. At repeat mitral valve replacement five months later for a paravalve leak no evidence of continuing endocarditis was present. Direct confirmation of infection in the patient's apparently healthy budgerigar was obtained. Aspects of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed.
