Abstract
Chlamydia pneumoniae has been implicated as an etiological agent for b oth upper and fewer respiratory tract infections. We describe 4 cases of chronic pharyngitis where Chlamydia pneumoniae appears to be the et iological agent. All the patients were non-smokers, and had symptoms o f more than 6 months' duration. Disease symptoms seemed to resolve fol lowing appropriate antibiotic treatment.
