Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1] ; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Aditya Govindavarjhulla, M.B.B.S. [2]Omodamola Aje B.Sc, M.D. [3]

Overview

In humans, after incubation period of 5-14 days, the symptoms of the disease range from mild illness to systemic illness with severe pneumonia. A history of exposure to birds, while not always present, is a major risk factor for infection. Psittacosis is characterized by a wide range in both disease severity and in spectrum of clinical features, but it typically presents with fever, prominent headache, myalgia, and a nonproductive cough.

History

In a case of suspicion of psittacosis, appropriate history is the key for diagnosis and management.

History of exposure to parrots
History of handling birds
Occupational history - cage cleaners , veterinarians
Recent visit to zoo or bird parks

Symptoms

In psittacosis symptoms are due to secondary bacteremia from reticuloendothelial system(lymph nodes).^[1] It is associated with constitutional symptoms like:

Symptoms of pneumonia/respiratory system^[2]^[2]^[3]^[4]:

Dry cough.
Shortness of breath.
Blood-tinged sputum at times
Sore throat
Epistaxis

Symptoms due to complications/ other symptoms:
