  • Title: Chlamydia pneumoniae (TWAR): a common agent in acute bronchitis.
    Author: Falck G, Heyman L, Gnarpe J, Gnarpe H.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 1994; 26(2):179-87. PubMed ID: 8036474.
    Abstract:
    Patients seeking medical attention for respiratory infections were investigated with serology and culture for Chlamydia pneumoniae to investigate the prevalence of C. pneumoniae in a specific geographical area and its association with respiratory disease. Evidence for C. pneumoniae infection was found in approximately 25% of cases. 71% of patients with C. pneumoniae had symptoms from the lower respiratory tract as compared to 29% of the others. We conclude that C. pneumoniae can be a major cause of acute bronchitis.
