Abstract
This study presents the clinical profile of a 74-year-old male patient admitted to the hospital due to a 20-day history of coughing, chest tightness, and dyspnea. Upon admission, the patient presented with fever, tachycardia, and tachypnea. Clinical examination revealed evidence of lung infection, sepsis, and multi-organ dysfunction, alongside abnormal blood gas analysis and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Pathogen testing confirmed Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci), infection. Throughout the treatment course, the patient developed concurrent fungal and viral infections, necessitating a comprehensive approach involving combined antibiotic and antifungal therapy. Despite encountering treatment-related complications, the patient demonstrated clinical improvement with aggressive management. This case underscores the importance of recognizing immune suppression subsequent to Chlamydia infection, emphasizing the critical role of early diagnosis, intervention, and standardized treatment protocols in enhancing patient prognosis.
