Chlamydia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Chlamydia is currently one of the most common sexually transmitted disease — about 4 million cases of chlamydia occur in the USA each year. However, about half of all men and three-quarters of all women who have chlamydia have no symptoms and don't know that they have the disease. The disease is transmitted by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium . It can be serious but it is easily cured if detected in time. It is also, and possibly more importantly, the biggest preventable cause of blindness in the world. Blindness occurs as a complication of trachoma (chlamydia conjunctivitis). Almost half of all women who get chlamydia and aren't treated by a doctor will get pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a generic term for infection of the uterus fallopian tubes , and/or ovaries . PID can cause scarring inside the reproductive organs , which can later cause serious complications, including chronic pelvic pain, difficulty becoming

Table of Contents FDA Consumer magazine July-August 1999 Chlamydia's Quick Cure Fight Against 'Silent' STD Includes New Screening Test, One-Dose Drug by Tamar Nordenberg Anna Lange (not her real name) had no symptoms when she went to a Wake County, N.C., sexually transmitted diseases clinic earlier this year to pick up her birth control pills. But a routine test revealed that the 20-year-old Lange had chlamydia. "She came in and had no complaints," says Peter Leone, M.D., the clinic's medical director, "and then 'boom'she was diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease." The sexually transmitted disease chlamydia usually comes with no telltale symptoms, so most people don't even know when they are infected. But left untreated, the so-called "silent epidemic" of chlamydia threatens to cause reproductive damage and infertility in many of the 3 million to 4 million Americans who get it each year. "Chlamydia's consequences can be devastating," says Diane Mitchell, M.D., an obstetrician-gynecologist and medical reviewer with the Food and Drug Administration. Routine chlamydia screening and early, effective treatment are the keys to reducing chlamydia's toll, according to Penny Hitchcock, chief of the National Institutes of Health's sexually transmitted disease branch. Two recent medical advances, she says, constitute "very important breakthroughs" in controlling the rampant disease: a new drug treatment recently approved by FDA to cure chlamydia in a single oral dose, and a urine-based screening test that, unlike other tests, does not require a swab sample of cells from the genital area.

Student Health Center University of Oregon CHLAMYDIA What is Chlamydia? Chlamydia (pronounced "cla-Mid-ee-uh") is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. It is many times more common than gonorrhea. The bacteria that causes the disease is Chlamydia trachomatis , hence the name, Chlamydia. Approximately 60 to 80% of women will have no noticeable symptoms of an infection, and when symptoms are present they are usually mild. Chlamydia infections are not limited to women. In men, the bacteria can cause infections of the urethra, prostate gland, and rectum, as well as epididymitis, a painful inflammation of the tiny structures inside the testicles where sperm are stored. How is Chlamydia Transmitted? Chlamydia infection is primarily transmitted from person to person through contact with the mucous membranes of the vagina, urethra, rectum or mouth. The chief mode of transmission is sexual intercourse-oral, anal or genital. The infection can be present for long periods of time, even years, without any signs of infection. Is Chlamydia new?

It is caused by the bacteria chlamydia trachomatis and can infect the penis, vagina, cervix, anus, urethra, or eye. Because the signs of chlamydia often go unnoticed, an individual can develop serious health complications before they recognize that they are infected. Is it common? There are approximately 3 million cases of chlamydia in the US each year and 3 out of every 4 cases reported were in individuals under the age of 25. Though the disease is easily treatable, it can be present without showing any symptoms and individuals can go a long time without knowing they are infected. Because individuals don't always know they are infected, the number of chlamydia infections is significantly underreported. How is it transmitted?

In fact the commonest in developed countries like Australia is probably chlamydia. It beats gonorrhoea by a factor of three or four and causes infertility in women and perhaps also in men. Chlamydia's highly infections; if one partner has it, the other is very likely to catch it. One research group which has spent a lot of time looking at better ways of detecting chlamydia in both women and men, is at the University of Washington, Seattle. It's led by Professor Walter Stamm.

There has been a steady increase in the reported cases of chlamydia, particularly among 15 to 25 year olds, and is considered one of the most common STDs. Chlamydia is now recognized as a major cause of pelvic inflammatory disease which can cause infertility. What are the symptoms of Chlamydia? Chlamydia is a particularly dangerous disease because there are many infected individuals who experience no symptoms. Men who do experience symptoms typically experience watery or milky discharge from the urethra as well as painful urination. In addition, chlamydia may cause the testicles to become swollen causing irritation. Women may also experience symptoms such as discomfort when urinating which becomes more frequent as the condition develops. Women often do not experience any symptoms, and therefore may have a higher propensity to carry the disease untreated. Chlamydia will also increase vaginal discharge and possibly light bleeding between periods. This bleeding may indicate that the infection has spread to the uterus. Anal infection may cause discomfort and produce discharge.
