Abstract
Chlamydia pneumoniae infection was diagnosed in an elderly patient with prolonged fever and hepatomegaly and no evidence of respiratory tract infection. Laboratory investigation showed hepatitis, eosinophilia, cryoglobulinaemia and the presence of antinuclear antibodies. It was concluded that C. pneumoniae may cause an acute extrarespiratory infection as well as stimulate immunological reactions.
