Chlamydia psittaci, an intracellular gram-negative bacterium that commonly infects birds, causes psittacosis in humans. Psittaci is commonly cause pneumonia, and neurological complications in psit-tacosis are rare. Psittacosis associated neurological complications include meningitis, cranial nerve palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome and epilepsy. We present a case study on cranial nerve palsies and severe pneumonia associated with psittacosis. Doxycycline was resumed, and the patient made a full recovery. This case report not only helps clinicians familiarize the clinical manifestations of Chlamydia psittaci infection involving the central nervous system, but also helps to understand the current diagnostic methods of the psittacosis pathogen.
