Psittacosis (And Alcoholism)

"Calling all captains!"

In our recent lower respiratory infections lecture, I only remembered two things.

Firstly, having pneumonias with a history of bird exposure (eg. parrots, parakeets, turkeys - happy early Thanksgiving) makes it likely you have Pscittacosis. 

Second, alcoholics are likely to have pneumonias caused by Klebsiella, normal oral flora, S. aureus, or S. pneumoniae. 

And if you're exposed to both (a Captain Morgan-swigging pirate parrot for example)... who knows what caused your pneumonia!
