Chlamydia trachomatis is a sexually transmitted pathogen that causes conjunctivitis in young, sexually active adults. There is a high incidence (45% to 90% ) of cervical or urethral chlamydia in individuals with adult inclusion conjunctivitis 1 ; however, the incidence of genital gonorrhea in this group is not known. In the genital tract, up to 32% of men and 63% of women with Neisseria gonorrhoeae have coexistent chlamydial infections, and it has been suggested that N gonorrhoeae can activate latent chlamydia. 2 We report a case of a pregnant woman with chlamydial conjunctivitis and both chlamydial and gonococcal cervicitis.
