Chlamydia pneumoniae

Chlamydia pneumoniae is a type of bacteria that can cause respiratory infections, like mild pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis. It's transmitted through respiratory droplets, similar to the common cold. Symptoms may include a persistent cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. While it can affect people of all ages, it is often more common in young adults. Diagnosis typically involves a medical examination and specific tests. Treatment usually consists of antibiotics, which are effective in clearing the infection. It’s important to seek medical advice if you suspect you have a respiratory infection for proper management.
