       Psittacosis / "Parrot Fever" - Argentina - Human-to-hu
       man transmission?

       SUMMARY - A cluster of 60 cases of "atypical pneumonia" is
       occurring in the country of Argentina. Some of that cluster has
       been confirmed to be Psittacosis (otherwise known as "Parrot
       Fever") but others have yet to be positively identified. Unlike
       its common name, psittacosis isn't confined to parrots but can
       be spread to humans by any type of bird. What is concerning
       investigators for now is that there is no obvious connection to
       birds with these cases which would suggest human-to-human
       transmission. More analysis of these cases are needed before a
       method of transmission can be determined.
