CHLAMYDIA What is it? Chlamydia is actually a group of different infections caused by different strains of the Chlamydia bacterium. Though Chlamydia pneumonia can cause a type of walking pneumonia, and Chlamydia psittaci can cause a type of pneumonia caused by birds, it is Chlamydia trachomatis that causes various sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia is currently the most common STD. Click on the photos for larger view.

Chlamydia can cause asymptomatic (no symptoms) infections in both men and women. In men it can cause groin pain and swelling (epididymitis) as well as burning on urination (so called, non-gonoccocal urethritis (NGU)). In prepubertal girls, it can cause a mild vaginal discharge and odor (called vaginitis); in postpubertal women it can cause an off-white discharge and odor which comes from an infected cervix . In women, it can be especially dangerous because it can silently linger for months and progress to

The facts about... Chlamydia trachomatis What is Chlamydia trachomatis? Chlamydia trachomatis is a small bacterium that cannot grow outside a living cell. In this respect it resembles a virus, but it is actually a very sophisticated organism. There are two other related organisms: Chlamydia psittaci is widespread in animals and can be transmitted to humans. This organism in humans is an uncommon cause of severe pneumonia particularly when acquired from infected birds of the parrot (Psittacine) family, and occasionally of abortion following contact with infected sheep. The more recently described Chlamydia pneumoniae (also known as the TWAR agent - Taiwan Acute Respiratory, after the designations of the first two isolates), may prove to be a frequent cause of upper and lower respiratory infection transmitted from person to person by infected droplets. Which diseases does it cause? Babies born to mothers with infection of their genital tract frequently present with chlamydial eye infection within a week of birth (chlamydial ophthalmia neonatorum), and may subsequently develop pneumonia. What are the symptoms and signs?

Chlamydia Yechiel Becker General Concepts Clinical Manifestations Ocular Infections: Chlamydia trachomatis causes trachoma and inclusion conjunctivitis. Trachoma is characterized by the development of follicles and inflamed conjunctivae. The cornea may become cloudy and vascularized; repeated infections are a common cause of blindness. Inclusion conjunctivitis is a milder inflammatory conjunctival infection with purulent discharge. Genital Infections: Some C trachomatis strains cause genital infections, including nongonococcal urethritis in men and acute salpingitis and cervicitis in women. Other strains cause lymphogranuloma venereum, a venereal disease with genital lesions and regional lymph node involvement (buboes). Respiratory Infections: Chlamydia psittaci usually causes an influenzalike illness called psittacosis. Chlamydia pneumoniae (TWAR organism) causes atypical pneumonitis in humans. Structure, Classification, and Antigenic Types Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria. They lack several metabolic and biosynthetic pathways and depend on the host cell for intermediates, including ATP. Chlamydiae exist as two stages: (1) infectious particles called elementary bodies and (2) intracytoplasmic, reproductive forms called reticulate bodies. The chlamydiae consist of three species, C trachomatis, C psittaci

Copies of the conference report will be available soon and can be obtained from Eileen Neail by fax on 01865 226978. They will be posted on Bandolier 's Internet site. But more information becomes available every month, with some good thinking on cost-effectiveness recently [1]. Screening Because Chlamydial infection is often asymptomatic, especially in women, approaches to treating it are often on a population basis; this amounts to screening. Screening has had a bad press, partly because screening programmes (of which there are over 300 operating in the UK) have often been started without the exhaustive thought and testing needed to show that they work and can be effective and cost-effective. The effectiveness of a screening programme depends on a combination both of test accuracy and therapeutic effectiveness. But screening is not straightforward. It has been said that all screening programmes do harm; some can also do good. And screening programmes are just that - a programme rather than just a test or just a treatment, and as programmes they need good management to be effective and efficient in the long term. One way of approaching screening is to use evidence from various sources to model effectiveness and cost-effectiveness on a real population. A study on 7,700 women in Baltimore does just that [1], and is a useful read for anyone contemplating Chlamydia screening, or any screening programme, come to that.

Where to go for help CHLAMYDIA Chlamydia (pronounced kla-mid-ee-ah) is a very common bacterial sexually transmitted infection - and one of the more serious. It can spread silently in females and cause a painful, long-term condition called PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) and infertility (the inability to have children). Pregnant women can pass this infection on to their babies at birth, who can then get infections of their eyes or lungs. You can get chlamydia from oral, vaginal or anal sex. The symptoms and signs A woman may never know she is infected with chlamydia until she has a test for it or decides to have a baby and has problems trying to become pregnant. For those who develop symptoms, they usually appear one to three weeks after sex with an infected person. Sometimes, the symptoms are so mild that a person may not notice them. Men often have no symptoms and can spread the infection without knowing they have it. It is very important that chlamydia be treated right away. What to look for Females: a new or different discharge from the vagina a burning feeling when urinating pain in the lower abdomen, sometimes with fever and chills

Cause: Chlamydia Trachomatis What is Chlamydia? Chlamydia is an infection that is transmitted through close physical contact during sexual intercourse. It can be transmitted through oral and anal sex as well as vaginal. What are the symptoms of Chlamydia? A person who has been infected with Chlamydia will start seeing symptoms within 1 to 3 weeks: however, many men and women report no symptoms at all. Men Women Burning/pain when urinating Watery, white discharge from the penis Discharge from the vagina Bleeding between periods or after sex Burning/pain when urinating Urinating more often Lower abdominal and lower back pain How can you test for Chlamydia? Can Chlamydia be treated an cured? What if Chlamydia is not treated? If Chlamydia is not treated it can spread into the pelvic organs and cavity causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can cause scarring and permanent damage to the pelvic organs. If PID goes untreated it can cause infertility in both men and women. How can Chlamydia transmission be prevented?

Go to PDF Version Chlamydia and Gonorrhea CHLAMYDIA Chlamydia (chlamydia trachomatis) is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections. This bacterial infection affects 3-4 million people each year. It is the most common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy and infertility in women. Chlamydia is a frequent cause of testicular and prostate infections and is the most common cause of sterility in men. GONORRHEA Gonorrhea (neisseria gonorrhoeae) is a bacterial infection that often co-exists with chlamydia. Approximately 600,000 new gonorrhea infections occur every year. These bacteria can also cause PID, ectopic pregnancy and infertility in women and testicular and prostate infections in men. TRANSMISSION/SYMPTOMS Chlamydia and gonorrhea are transmitted through vaginal, anal or oral sexual contact. Both infections cause symptoms for some people while other people have no recognizable symptoms at all. For women, symptoms include a change in the color or texture of vaginal discharge, irregular bleeding or spotting, vaginal burning, or pain and burning with urination. Pelvic pain may indicate that the bacteria have progressed into the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. Because it is more common that women may not have recognizable symptoms, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all sexually active adolescent and young adult women be tested during their annual exam. Any woman having new or multiple partners should request testing.

Chlamydia are small obligate intracellular parasites and were once considered to be viruses. However, they contain DNA, RNA and ribosomes and make their own proteins and nucleic acids and are now considered to be true bacteria. They possess an inner and outer membrane similar gram-negative bacteria and a lipopolysaccharide but do not have a peptidoglycan layer. Although they synthesize most of their metabolic intermediates, they are unable to make their own ATP and thus are energy parasites.

CHLAMYDIA Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are among the most common infectious diseases in the United States today, affecting more than 13 million men and women annually. Among the more than 20 STDs that have now been identified, chlamydia is the most frequently reported, with an estimated 4 million new cases each year. In Illinois, there were 32,870 cases of chlamydia reported in 1999. Most of these cases74 percentoccurred among persons 15- to 24-years-old. What is chlamydia? Chlamydial infections are caused by a bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis , and are transmitted during vaginal, oral or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases estimates that the cost of chlamydial infections and subsequent complications exceeds $2 billion annually. What are the symptoms? If symptoms appear at all, it is usually one to four weeks after exposure. Women report vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding between periods, abdominal pain that is sometimes accompanied by fever and nausea, and burning or pain during urination. Men with the infection report burning or pain during urination and a discharge from the penis. About half of infected women and about one-quarter of infected men, however, may have no symptoms at all. This is one reason chlamydia is dangerous: Asymptomatic individuals do not seek treatment and therefore can pass the infection on to others. Untreated individuals also can develop complications from the infection.
