Chlamydia pneumoniae was first isolted in 1965 and classified as a new chlamydia strain in 1989. It causes respiratory tract infections. The prevalence of type-specific antibodies to C. pneumoniae in patients with otolaryngeal diseases was studied using a microimmunofluorescence method. Twelve (25.5%) of 47 patients with tonsillitis, 7 (24.1%) of 29 with otitis media and 16 (38.1%) of 42 with bronchitis had antibodies indicating current or recent infection of the organism. The limited data available suggest that C. pneumoniae is an important pathogen of otolaryngeal diseases. This agent has a tendency to cause a chronic disease and relapse unless appropriate antibiotic therapy is performed.
