chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium which causes a wide variety of human infections such as ocular, urogenital and respiratory infections. genital infections of women, espe-cially when repeated, give rise to many complications such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and in fertility. since chlamydial infections are usually asymptomatic, they progress unnoticed and produc...

SummaryChlamydia trachomatis infections are major public health concerns globally. Of particular grave concern is that the majority of persons with anogenital Chlamydia trachomatis infections are asymptomatic and accordingly not aware of their infection, and this silent infection can subsequently result in severe reproductive tract complications and sequelae.
