Objective To investigate the application effect of targeted next-generation sequencing(tNGS)of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)in Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia.Methods Thirty-five patients with Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia admitted to our hospital from May 2021 to March 2025 were selected for the study.All patients underwent BALF tNGS and conventional BALF pathogen detection.With etiology as the gold standard,the diagnostic efficacy of BALF tNGS for Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia was analyzed.Results The gold standard detected 35 cases of Chlamydia psittaci positive,with a detection rate of 100.00%.The positive detection rate of tNGS in alveolar lavage fluid was higher than that of traditional pathogen detection,and the results report time of tNGS was shorter than that of traditional pathogen detection(P<0.05).Conclusions Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia lacks specificity in clinical symptoms and is easy to turn into severe pneumonia,bronchoalveolar lavage fluid tNGS can improve the detection rate of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia and the results return quickly,and the use of tetracyclines and quinolones antibiotics can help improve the prognosis of patients.
