    Psittacosis, a rare Chlamydia psittaci infection, is likely underreported in South Africa due to its varied symptoms. Increased awareness is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of this avian-borne disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Psittacosis (Chlamydia psittaci infection) became a notifiable disease in South Africa in 1979.
    • Only four cases have been officially reported since psittacosis became notifiable.

    Observation:

    • The low number of reported cases suggests potential underdiagnosis or underreporting.
    • Psittacosis presents with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, potentially leading to missed diagnoses.

    Findings:

    • A characteristic case of psittacosis is presented to illustrate its clinical features.
    • The review covers the complications and management strategies for psittacosis.

    Implications:

    • There is a need to enhance awareness among healthcare professionals regarding the diverse presentations of psittacosis.
