Chlamydia trachomatis infections in adolescents.
The guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control should be applied with appreciation of their limitations.

Until public health authorities implement control programs, the efforts of individual practitioners will probably be the mainstay of the flight against C. trachomatis.
