Chlamydia trachomatis

No this organism is not the correct cause of Helen's chronic pneumonia. Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia is normally seen in the newborn infant. The patient does not usually have a fever and 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?
