WHAT IS IT?

Recognized since 1970, chlamydia infections are among the most common genital infections. They are caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. In addition to genital infections, chlamydia can also cause eye infection in newborns.

Some types of Chlamydia trachomatis can cause lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), another sexually transmitted infection (see the entry for this disease). Other species of Chlamydia cause different infections. Chlamydia pneumoniae, for example, causes respiratory infection, and Chlamydia psittaci, which is transmitted from birds to humans, also causes a respiratory illness. Here the discussion will be limited to sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infections.
