A Case Report of Chlamydia Psittaci Pneumonia and Pulmonary Aspergillosis Diagnosed by Nanopore Sequencing

This paper reports a case of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia and pulmonary aspergillosis with concurrent liver injury. The patient was admitted to the hospital with coughing, expectoration, and fever for 5 days. Laboratory tests upon admission revealed abnormalities in liver function. The patient was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and liver-protection therapy, but symptoms did not significantly improve. Further nanopore sequencing detected Chlamydia psittaci and Aspergillus flavus. The treatment plan was adjusted to include combined anti-infection and antifungal therapies. After treatment, the patient's symptoms improved significantly; their liver function returned to normal, and their condition improved.
