Abstract

Abstract There are several pathogens involved in the etiology of neonatal infections. Based on etiology, these can be classified into materno-fetal and nosocomial infections. Bacteria of the Chlamydia family behave like intracellular parasites. The most well-known member is Chlamydia trachomatis, which is the cause of the most common sexually transmitted disease in developed societies. In this case, we present a 27-days-old girl who presented at our clinic with conjunctivitis, dyspnea and coughing. Laboratory and imaging findings reported leucocytosis, eosinophilia, and bronchopneumonia. Her condition improved rapidly during antibiotic treatment, but her conjunctivitis recurred. Serological tests confirmed Chlamydia infection of the newborn. She became asymptomatic after the whole family has been cured. In case of neonatal conjunctivitis, pneumonia and eosinophilia, Chlamydia should be considered and the whole family treated to prevent re-infections.

先天性衣原体感染病例报告
有几个病原体涉及的病因新生儿感染。根据病因,这些可分为母胎感染和医院感染。衣原体家族的细菌表现得像细胞内寄生虫。最著名的成员是沙眼衣原体,它是发达社会中最常见的性传播疾病的病因。在这种情况下,我们提出一个27天的女孩谁在我们的诊所提出结膜炎,呼吸困难和咳嗽。实验室和影像学结果报告白细胞增多、嗜酸性粒细胞增多和支气管肺炎。经抗生素治疗后病情迅速好转,但结膜炎复发。血清学检测证实新生儿感染了衣原体。在全家人都被治愈后,她的症状消失了。在新生儿结膜炎、肺炎和嗜酸性粒细胞增多的情况下,应考虑衣原体感染,并对整个家庭进行治疗以防止再次感染。
