Parrot fever cases amid a ‘mysterious’ pneumonia outbreak in Argentina – what you need to know about psittacosis

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, April 23, 2024

This is how the yet-to-be-named disease COVID-19 was first described when a cluster of cases was identified in Wuhan, China.

Key Points:

This is how the yet-to-be-named disease COVID-19 was first described when a cluster of cases was identified in Wuhan, China.
This term is being used again to describe a cluster of “atypical” pneumonia cases in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Some cases of psittacosis, also known as “parrot fever”, have been confirmed within this cluster.
Psittacosis, or parrot fever, is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia psittaci, and is a common infection in birds.
A 2017 systematic review concluded that around 1% of pneumonia cases not acquired in a hospital may be the result of psittacosis.

There are often local respiratory infectious disease outbreaks, potentially causing severe pneumonia, and these do not spread more widely or internationally.
At the time of writing this article, there is very little information available about the Argentina outbreak.
There has been no statement from the public health authorities in Argentina, nor the WHO Pan America Health Organisation.
Among the key pieces of information we really would need to know is the likelihood of human-to-human transmission.

Hemp bedding is more than four times as absorbent as wood fibers and will not break down into muck when saturated.

Key Points:

Hemp bedding is more than four times as absorbent as wood fibers and will not break down into muck when saturated.
This provides for easier cleaning along with better odor control and more time between cleanings.
As the most absorbent natural cellulose on the planet, when hemp hurd is used it lasts longer, has better odor control and is easier to clean than other alternatives,” added Gnecco.
“Our products are made from industrial hemp stalks grown on American farms, creating regenerative crop rotation benefiting the soil and the families who nurture them.
