摘要：

We report a case of transverse myelitis presenting with fever and rapidly deteriorating neurological signs associated with Chlamydia psittaci infection. It resolved with no long-standing neurological consequences. Only one previous report has described transverse myelitis in association with psittacosis,(1) and the resulted in permanent neurological sequelae.
