ABSTRACT=<p>Community-acquired pneumonia is a public health problem in all countries in the world, with a broad range of causative agents and <italic>Chlamydia psittaci</italic> infection tends to be overlooked. Pulmonary migratory infiltrates are commonly seen in eosinophilic pneumonia, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, etc. However, the association of <italic>Chlamydia psittaci</italic> and pulmonary migratory infiltrates has been seldom described in literatures before. We reviewed a 64-year-old man referred to our hospital for treatment against <italic>Chlamydia psittaci</italic> pneumonia which was diagnosed by metagenomics next generation sequencing (mNGS). During the treatment period, chest imaging showed migratory infiltrates, which has been rarely described before.</p>
