Overview

Chlamydia infection is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It is among the most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted infections and affects both men and women. Many infections produce no symptoms, which allows the bacterium to spread unknowingly; when symptoms do occur, they may include genital discharge, pain on urination, and pelvic discomfort. If left untreated, chlamydia can lead to serious complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, and infertility in women, and it can also affect the eyes and, in newborns, cause infection acquired during birth. Because it is curable with appropriate antibiotics, screening, early detection, and treatment of partners are central to control and prevention. As a public-health subject, chlamydia infection sits within the study and prevention of sexually transmitted infections. The International Journal of Infection Prevention and related OpenAccessPub titles publish work on the epidemiology and control of transmissible infection, including a cross-sectional laboratory analysis of the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections from home-collected samples in the United Kingdom and a retrospective study of syphilis and associated infections and comorbidities. These reflect the broader surveillance and prevention context in which chlamydia is studied. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to chlamydia infection and the prevention of sexually transmitted disease.
