In humans, the most frequently associated condition is atypical pneumonia, while\n                    <jats:italic>Chlamydia psittaci<\/jats:italic>\n                    remains a relatively uncommon pathogen in cases of community-acquired pneumonia. Historically, reports of pneumonia due to\n                    <jats:italic>Chlamydia psittaci<\/jats:italic>\n                    have been limited, largely due to challenges in diagnosis. However, recent advancements in technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) have led to an annual increase in reported cases of\n                    <jats:italic>Chlamydia psittaci<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection.

The diagnosis was confirmed through polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the patient was successfully treated with omadacycline. By analyzing 55 cases, this paper aims to summarize the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for severe\n                    <jats:italic>Chlamydia
