Overview
Since 1996, fewer than 50 confirmed cases of psittacosis were reported in the United States each year. Many more cases may occur that are not correctly diagnosed or reported.[1] In the United States, the incidence of psittacosis is 0.01 per 100,000 persons. The prevalence and incidence of psittacosis do not vary by gender. There is no racial predilection for psittacosis; it has been identified in all parts of the world including Africa, China, Europe and the United States.
