Chlamydia pneumoniae

No this organism is not the correct cause of Helen's chronic pneumonia. Chlamydia pneumoniae pneumonia rarely produces any sputum. The lungs contain infiltrates rather than consolidations. The organism is an obligate intracellular bacteria that is not stainable by gram stain or acid-fast stain techniques. Try again.

Do you need to go back and look at Helen again?
