Ornithosis, also known as psittacosis, is a bacterial infection caused by Chlamydia psittaci. It is commonly associated with birds such as parrots, hence the term "parrot fever." Therefore, the code for ornithosis is also used to report parrot fever and psittacosis. Parotitis, on the other hand, is inflammation of the parotid gland and is not related to Chlamydia psittaci.
