Overview
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Psittacosis presents chiefly as an atypical pneumonia. In the first week of psittacosis the symtoms mimic typhoid fever: prostrating high fevers, arthralgias, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, epistaxis and leukopenia. Headache can be so severe that suggests meningitis and some nuchal rigidity is not unusual. Towards the end of first week stupor or even comacan result in severe cases. The second week is more akin of acute bacteraemic pneumococcal pneumonia with continuous high fevers, cough and dyspnea.
