<I>Chlamydia</I> was isolated from the throat of a 15-year-old male patient with acute bronchitis. The <I>Chlamydia</I> isolate, YK-41, was stained with FITC-conjugated monoclonal antibodies specific to <I>C. pneumoniae</I> and the genus Chlamydia, whereas staining of monoclonal antibody specific to <I>C. trachomatis</I> was negative. These results indicated that the strain YK-41 could be identified as <I>C. pneumoniae</I>.<BR>Serum IgM antibody against <I>C. pneumoniae</I> was detected in high titer in the patient in the acute phase using the microimmunofluorescence (MIF) test, serum IgG antibody against <I>C. pneumoniae</I> demonstrated a fourfold antibody titer rise between acute and convalescent serum using MIF test.<BR>Thus, our patient almost certainly contracted acute bronchitis caused by <I>C. pneumoniae</I>.
