title: [Late debut of neonatal pneumonia caused by Chlamydia trachomatis].
abstract: A newborn colonized with Chlamydia trachomatis will often show symptoms of conjunctivitis and/or pneumonia. We report a case of interstitial pneumonia caused by C. trachomatis in a 2-month-old boy admitted with RSV. We point to the importance of C. trachomatis in the differential diagnostics of an infant with respiratory symptoms even in the presence of additional infectious agents.
