How is chlamydia diagnosed? ... Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) What is chlamydia and how common is it? Chlamydia (pronounced kluh-mid-ee-uh) is the most frequently reported sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis ) in the U.S. An estimated 2.8 million Americans get chlamydia each year. Women are often reinfected, meaning they get the STD again, if their sex partners are not treated. Reinfections place women at higher risk for serious reproductive health complications, including infertility. How do you get chlamydia? Sexually active women and men can get chlamydia through sexual contact with an infected person. Chlamydia can be passed during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Because there are often no symptoms, people who are infected may unknowingly pass chlamydia to their sex partners. An infected mother can also pass chlamydia to her baby during childbirth. Babies born to infected mothers can get pneumonia or infections in their eyes, also called conjunctivitis. The more sex partners a person has, the greater the risk of getting infected with chlamydia. Chlamydia is easily confused with gonorrhea, another STD. Gonorrhea and chlamydia have similar symptoms and can have similar complications if not treated, but the two STDs have different treatments.

Chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease, has long been recognized as a common infection, especially among young women, but the new study offers one of the most comprehensive looks at its prevalence across the country. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University tested 13,204 new female recruits during basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C., in 1996 and 1997. The average age was 21. Half of the women were white, one-third were black and the rest were of other races. "These findings have national applicability," lead researcher Dr. Charlotte Gaydos of Johns Hopkins Medical Institution said in an interview. "We had a (test subject) population from all 50 states and four U.S. territories."

28. Chlamydial Infections chlamydia is one of the most common forms of sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. Check out our article for parents to get the facts on this http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/chlamydia.html

KidsHealth Parents Infections Chlamydia is a unique type of bacteria that can live and reproduce inside human cells. There are 4 known species of these bacteria, 3 of which can cause disease in humans: Chlamydia trachomatis Chlamydia pneumonia , and Chlamydia psittaci The infections caused by these organisms can affect many different organs, including the eyes, lungs, or urinary-genital area, depending on the species involved, the age of the person infected, and how the infection is transmitted. The name "chlamydia" is derived from the Greek word "chlamys", which was a kind of cloak worn by men in ancient Greece. This describes how this type of bacteria drapes itself around the nucleus of a human cell that it has infected. When inside the cell, Chlamydia uses energy produced by the cell in order to multiply. It can then exit the cell, while leaving the cell intact, to move on and infect other cells. This ability to reproduce inside a cell without actually damaging it can lead to prolonged infections with minimal or no symptoms, which is one of the major characteristics of this type of bacteria.

At the age of 30, I contracted severe Asthma and came close to death in 1995 when a near fatal Asthma attack put me into full respiratory and cardiac arrest!

Bacteriology at UW-Madison Chlamydia trachomatis by Andrea DeMets, University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Bacteriology, 1998 Chlamydia is the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease in the United States. There are roughly four million cases annually, most occurring in men and women under the age of 25. Direct and indirect costs of chlamydia (mainly costs for complications) total $24 billion a year. This is most likely an underestimate, since many people with chlamydia infection likely have gonorrhea, as well. Hence, costs to diagnose and treat the latter sexually transmitted disease must be included. Chlamydia cases in Wisconsin 1965-1991 (cases per 100,000 people, by year, according to sex and age) History and Biological Background Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis . The word chlamys Virulence Factors There are numerous factors that contribute to the pathogenicity of Chlamydia trachomatis Model of chlamydial cell wall or envelope (after Hatch) Vaccines The surface of chlamydia does not contain proteins that are distinctive enough to induce a full immune response. The cell wall does contain an exoglycolipid antigen that induces a weak immune response (for reasons unknown, the immune response is weaker to carbohydrate antigens). This is the basis for a recent vaccine developed by researchers at Johns Hopkins University. The researchers are developing a protein version of the antigen by injecting C. trachomatis

32. PSITTACOSIS DISEASE - Pet Birds, Pet Parrots, Exotic Birds Also known as chlamydiosis or chlamydia which can be passed from bird to human. Discusses transmission, diagnosis, and treatment of this dangerous disease. http://www.birdsnways.com/articles/psittico.htm

PSITTACOSIS PSITTACOSIS by Mike Owen , Queensland, Australia Psittacosis may not be the most common disease in your flock, but it is the one you need to be most aware of. This is because Psittacosis (or more technically Chlamydiosis or Chlamydia) is the one disease your birds may give to you, and unless recognised, it can be fatal! The Chlamydia organism, which is rather unusual in not quite being bacteria or virus but somewhere in between, was first recognised in 1892 in Paris, when, before antibiotics were available, 16 of 48 people infected with the disease, died. Only a couple of years ago someone in Australia died from an un-diagnosed case of the disease, apparently caught from wild parrots. It is a disease which can affect most groups of birds, hence the veterinary preference to call it Chlamidiosis, although most cases of infection of humans have come from parrots. Since most aviculturalists are more at home with Psittacosis, I will continue to use that name. PSITTACOSIS IN BIRDS Recognition of the disease in birds can be difficult without pathology testing. A bird sick with Psittacosis can show one or several of the following symptoms; eye discharge or swelling, laboured breathing, diarrhoea, poor appetite, lethargy, "fluffed up" appearance, or weakness. Most of these are shared by many other diseases, and identification of the problem is often mainly by a process of elimination. The one symptom which is suggestive of this rather than other diseases is eye discharge, and any bird with an eye discharge should be considered for Psittacosis. Pathology tests are available so it is vital that you consult your avian vet at the earliest convenience.

Dispatches Gestational Psittacosis in a Montana Sheep Rancher In humans, psittacosis is primarily a flulike illness following exposure to psittacine birds. In rare cases, pregnant women exposed to Chlamydia psittaci can contract gestational psittacosis: atypical pneumonia, sepsis, and placental insufficiency resulting in premature birth or miscarriage. In the United States, only two cases of gestational psittacosis have been reported, both from exposure to psittacine birds. Eleven other cases have been reported worldwide, mostly in the United Kingdom, all from exposure to infected birth fluids and membranes of farm mammals, notably sheep and goats. In these mammals, C. psittaci inhabit the reproductive tract, are transmitted sexually or by the fecal-oral route, and cause miscarriages. The case of gestational psittacosis in a Montana sheep rancher is the first farm animal-related case reported in the United States. Pregnant women should avoid close contact with C. psittaci -infected animals, particularly sheep and goats during the birthing season. Obstetricians should consider this diagnosis along with early antibiotic treatment and cesarean section delivery in the context of the patient's case history. Psittacosis is a flulike systemic infection, often with fever, headache, and atypical pneumonia, caused by
