title: [Chlamydia-induced pneumonia in children].
abstract: Three cases of pneumonia caused by Chlamydia were observed. The disease ran a protracted course and was refractory to treatment. Erythromycin was given initially intravenously and then orally, with improvement of the general condition of children and regression of inflammatory changes in the lungs. Such cases are worth of reporting in view of only isolated reports on respiratory infections caused by these organisms.
