Extractions: Chlamydia is the number one bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States today. Four million new cases of chlamydia occur each year. It's particularly common among teens and young adults. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can be caused by chlamydia, is a leading cause of infertility when left untreated. Chlamydia is known as the "silent epidemic" because three quarters of the women and half of the men with the disease have no symptoms. Possible symptoms include discharge from the penis or vagina and a burning sensation when urinating. Additional symptoms for women include lower abdominal pain or pain during intercourse and bleeding between menstrual periods. Men may experience burning and itching around the opening of the penis and/or pain and swelling in the testicles. There are two kinds of test for chlamydia. One involves collecting a small amount of fluid from an infected site (cervix or penis) with a cotton swab. These tests are universally available. New tests, which use only urine samples, will be available soon and will make testing much easier and less painful.

Extractions: May 2002 Chlamydial Infection Chlamydial ("kla-MID-ee-uhl") infection is a curable sexually transmitted disease (STD), which is caused by a bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis . You can get genital chlamydial infection during oral, vaginal, or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. It can cause serious problems in men and women as well as in newborn babies of infected mothers. Chlamydial infection is one of the most widespread bacterial STDs in the United States. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 4 million people are infected each year. Health economists estimate that chlamydial infections and the other problems they cause cost Americans more than $2 billion a year. Because chlamydial infection does not make most people sick, you can have it and not know it. Those who do have symptoms may have an abnormal discharge (mucus or pus) from the vagina or penis or pain while urinating. These early symptoms may be very mild. Symptoms usually appear within one to three weeks after being infected. Because the symptoms may be mild or not exist at all, you might not seek care and get treated. The infection may move inside the body if it is not treated. There, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and epidydimitis in men, two very serious illnesses.

Extractions: What's New Index Search Contact Us April 2001 Chlamydia in the United States What is Chlamydia? Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis . Because approximately 75% of women and 50% of men have no symptoms, most people infected with chlamydia are not aware of their infections and therefore may not seek health care. When diagnosed, chlamydia can be easily treated and cured. Untreated, chlamydia can cause severe, costly reproductive and other health problems which include both short- and long-term consequences, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which is the critical link to infertility, and potentially fatal tubal pregnancy. Up to 40% of women with untreated chlamydia will develop PID. Undiagnosed PID caused by chlamydia is common. Of those with PID, 20% will become infertile; 18% will experience debilitating, chronic pelvic pain; and 9% will have a life-threatening tubal pregnancy. Tubal pregnancy is the leading cause of first-trimester, pregnancy-related deaths in American women. Chlamydia may also result in adverse outcomes of pregnancy, including neonatal conjunctivitis and pneumonia. In addition, recent research has shown that women infected with chlamydia have a 3 - 5 fold increased risk of acquiring HIV, if exposed.

Extractions: Chlamydia pneumoniae Clinical Features Pneumonia or bronchitis, gradual onset of cough with little or no fever. Less common presentations are pharyngitis, laryngitis, and sinusitis. Etiologic Agent Chlamydia pneumoniae . This bacterium was recognized in 1983 as a respiratory pathogen, after isolation from a college student with pharyngitis. Incidence Each year an estimated 50,000 adults are hospitalized with pneumonia in the United States. The overall incidence is unknown. Sequelae C. pneumoniae infection may be associated with atherosclerotic vascular disease. Associations with Alzheimers disease, asthma, and reactive arthritis have been proposed. Transmission Person-to-person transmission by respiratory secretions. Risk Groups All ages at risk but most common in school-age children. By age 20 years, 50% of population have evidence of past infection. Reinfection throughout life appears to be common.

Extractions: Chlamydia (klah-MIH-dee-ah) is the most common sexually transmitted bacterial infection in the U.S. Its full name is chlamydia trachomatis (trah-ko-MAH-tis). It is a kind of bacteria that can infect the penis, vagina, cervix, anus, urethra, or eye. Chlamydia is the name of several types of bacteria. Chlamydia trachoma, for example, has been a major cause of blindness for centuries. Chlamydia trachomatis is sexually transmitted. One strain occurs primarily in the tropics and causes lymphogranuloma venereum — symptoms include skin lesions and swelling of certain glands in the genital area.

Extractions: An estimated 15.3 million cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) occur annually in the United States: two-thirds of these occur among people under the age of 25 (KFF, 1998). Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STI with an estimated 3 million new cases each year (KFF, 1998). It was also the most common of the notifiable infectious diseases reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 1997 (DSTDP, 1998). Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacteria that can infect mucus membranes in the eye or in the penis, vagina, cervix, anus, or urethra during vaginal or anal intercourse. It can also be transmitted during birth.

In women, the commonest site for infection is the cervix, or neck of the womb. It can also affect the urethra, which is the tube which carries urine from the bladder to the outside world. Other sites for chlamydial infection in both men and women include the tissues around the rectum and also the eyes. The most worrying effect of a chlamydial infection in women is that of potential fertility problems, due to inflammation of the Fallopian tubes or cervix.

Extractions: Bacteriology 330 Home Page 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 half of people with chlamydia likely have gonorrhea too. Hence, costs to diagnose and treat the latter sexually transmitted disease must be included. 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

Extractions: 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. 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

But more information becomes available every month, with some good thinking on cost-effectiveness recently [1]. 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.

It is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. Sexually active individuals and individuals with multiple partners are at highest risk. Chlamydia may be acquired jointly with gonorrhea and/or syphilis, so individuals with one sexually transmitted disease must be screened for other sexually transmitted diseases as well. Untreated chlamydia can lead to pelvic infection and infertility. In men, chlamydia may produce symptoms similar to those of gonorrhea (discharge from penis or rectum, burning on urination or defecation), and can also cause epididymitis and orchitis . However, up to 25% of infected men may have no symptoms.
