Community-acquired Pneumonia Due to Chlamydia Pneumoniae

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier de Saint-Denis

Summary

This international retrospective Franco-Swiss study focuses on community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae. The working hypothesis is that the prevalence of C. pneumoniae pneumonia is overestimated by the medical community. The primary objective is to determine the true prevalence of C. pneumoniae infections among patients with pneumonia who underwent simplex or multiplex PCR testing. Secondary objectives include; 1. Outpatient management 2. Hospitalization in a medical ward 3. Admission to the intensive care unit 4. In-hospital mortality 5. Radiological presentation of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae 6. Prevalence of viral or bacterial co-infections associated with C. pneumoniae CAP

Official title: Prevalence and Phenotyping of Chlamydia Pneumoniae Infections Among Pnuemonias Tested With Simplex and Multiplex PCR
