Abstract

Psittakoz is caused by C. psittaci. It causes infection in parrots, birds, pigeons and poultry. It is often transmitted by secretions, tissues and hair of infected birds. The route of transmission is often by inhalation but rarely by direct contact. It leads to atypical pneumonia, which can be mortal in humans, especially in bird sitter. Psittacosis is usually seen in both lungs with heterogeneous infiltrations and very rarely, lobular infiltration may occur. It causes delay in diagnosis and treatment because it is rarely seen and is easily bypassed when a good anamnesis is not taken. We report two patients with similar symptoms from the same family within a week.

Özet

Psittakoz, C. psittaci tarafından meydana getirilir. Papağanlar, kuşlar, güvercinler ve kümes hayvanlarında enfeksiyona yol açar. Etken sıklıkla enfekte kuşların sekresyonları, dokuları ve tüyleriyle bulaşır. Bulaş yolu sıklıkla inhalasyon yoluyla olmakla beraber nadiren de direkt temas sonucu da bulaşabilir. İnsanlarda özelikle kuş besleyenlerde mortal olabilen atipik pnömoniye yol açar. Psittakoz genelde her iki akciğerde heterojen infiltrasyonlarla seyrederken çok nadiren lober infiltrasyonla seyredebilir. Nadir görülmesi ve iyi bir anamnez alınmadığında kolaylıkla atlanması nedeni ile tanıda ve tedavide geçikmelere neden olmaktadır. Bir hafta içinde aynı aileden benzer semptomlar gelişen ve psittakoz tanısı konulan iki olgu sunduk.
