title: Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis lung infection in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
abstract: Brush biopsies and lung lavages were obtained from 263 individuals with acquired immune deficiency syndrome who collectively had 658 hospitalizations for pneumonia. Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated during three (0.5%) of the episodes, indicating that it was not an important respiratory tract pathogen in this population.
