STI-Chlamydia: An Infectious Disease – Fort Worth
Chlamydia is the most frequently reported infectious disease in the United States. More than 450,000 cases were reported in 1995. Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis and is a very common sexually transmissible infection (STI). It is often called the ‘silent infection’ because most people do not realise they have it. Chlamydia can infect the eyes if they come in contact with genital secretions from an infected person. The bacteria can also be spread to a baby during birth if the mother has the infection, causing problems with the baby’s eyes or a lung infection (pneumonia).
Chlamydia is so common in young women that, by age 30, 50% of sexually active women have evidence that they have had chlamydia at some time during their lives. Chlamydia is more common in sexually active young women under the age of 25, and if you are not using condoms. Women who use the Pill are about twice as likely to get chlamydia, but less likely to get PID with all its symptoms. Chlamydia is a leading cause of early infant pneumonia and conjunctivitis (pink eye) in newborns.

Chlamydia-infections are often accidentally discovered when a woman asks for medical help for sterility. Poor symptoms and severe consequences such as sterility make this infection very dangerous. Chlamydia infections in females can lead to cancer of the cervix, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is one in which the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus.

In 2006, 1,030,911 chlamydial infections were reported to CDC from 50 states and the District of Columbia
