Chlamydial infection: a common sexually transmitted disease.
Chlamydia trachomatis infection is more prevalent than gonorrhea and causes a similar clinical picture. It is the prime cause of non-gonococcal urethritis in men and pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Its sequelae in women are ectopic pregnancy and infertility. It can be transmitted from an infected mother to her newborn child, leading to inclusion conjunctivitis and pneumonia. Tetracycline and erythromycin are effective in eradicating chlamydial infections, but the penicillins are not. Screening of high risk groups and special diagnostic facilities would help control this common sexually transmitted disease.
