Chlamydiae are gram-negative bacteria, obligate intracellular parasites. Among them, Chlamydia pneumoniae is the most widespread species in the human population and can cause respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia. In recent years, the number of acute and chronic infections has increased. The Primary infection usually occurs between 5 and 18 years of age. The typical clinical symptoms include rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis media, pharyngitis, bronchitis, atypical pneumonia with non-productive cough and indistinctive auscultatory findings. In the past 20 years, researchers have linked a wide variety of diseases to C. pneumoniae infection.
