We report the case of a woman who has a parrot fever disease. The first manifestations were headache, fever and flu-like muscle pain. The diagnostic was finally suspected by the anamnesis, which revealed that the patient lived with parrots, and confirmed by serological analysis. Pulmonary symptoms occurred only at a later stage, with the development of lesions showed by the chest CT Scan. The treatment was based on specific antibiotics, with the successful use of oral clarythromycin.
