title: [Acute chlamydial lesions of the nervous system: etiology, diagnosis, clinical aspects].
abstract: The examination of 180 patients with acute neuroinfection (105 males, 75 females at the age from 18 to 45 years) has detected C. trachomatis in 23.8%, C. Pneumoniae in 66.6%, C. psittaci in 9.5% patients. Acute and chlamydial lesions of the central nervous system were characterized by all forms of neuroinfection: serous and purulent meningitides, meningoencephalitides. Development of acute neuroinfection is accompanied by sluggish chlamydial infection of the viscera.
