  • Title: Spontaneous cure of acute bronchitis caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae in a 15-year-old boy.
    Author: Kanamoto Y, Sakano T, Usui T.
    Journal: Hiroshima J Med Sci; 1993 Sep; 42(3):121-3. PubMed ID: 8253607.
    Abstract:
    Chlamydia pneumoniae was isolated from the pharyngeal swab of a 15-year-old patient with acute bronchitis. The serum IgM antibody against C.pneumoniae was elevated up to 160-fold in the acute phase and decreased to 20-fold in the convalescent phase using the microimmunofluorescence (MIF) test. IgG antibody titers in the acute phase and the convalescent phase were 40-fold and 160-fold respectively using the MIF test. The patient recovered from the bronchitis without any effective treatment, indicating spontaneous cure of the disease.
