The records of the Public Health Laboratory at Leeds were searched and cases in which a four-fold rise of antibodies to Chlamydia psittaci had occurred were reviewed. Clinical and epidemiological features of these cases are presented. The importance of birds as a potential source of infection is emphasised.
