Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
Biopsy
- Microscopically they have patchy consolidation.
- Microscopically exudation and interstitial changes are seen.
- They are best seen with Giemsa stain as inclusions called Leventhal -Colle-Lillie bodies and can be seen within macrophages in BAL fluid.
Culture
- Microbiological cultures from respiratory secretions.
- Culture of Chlamydia psittaci is hazardous and should only be carried out in bio safety laboratories.
- It is tedious process and seldom done .
Serology
- A fourfold or greater increase in antibody titers are against the diagnosis of C. psittaci in blood samples combined with the probable course of the disease.
