Morphologic diagnosis: 
Embryo: Congestion
Clinical description: 
Fertile chicken eggs inoculated with *Chlamydophila psittaci* may show embryo mortality 3-10 days after inoculation. Vascular congestion, seen in the bottom embryo, should be verified in the embryos that have died. A normal non-inoculated embryo is shown on the top for comparison.
Pathologic description: 
Two chicken embryos are present in this photo. The top embryo is normal. The bottom embryo is from an egg inoculated with *C. psittaci*. The tissues of the bottom embryo are reddened.
