Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis lung infection in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome

J V Moncada et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1986 May.

Abstract

Brush biopsies and lung lavages were obtained from 263 individuals with acquired immune deficiency syndrome who collectively had 658 hospitalizations for pneumonia. Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated during three (0.5%) of the episodes, indicating that it was not an important respiratory tract pathogen in this population.
