Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis is a common STI. If the condition is left untreated, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, secondary STIs and other complications. Chlamydia infection is often asymptomatic until serious complications have developed. A recent study by Ward, Rodger and Jackson has shown that opportunistic screening for this infection could potentially lead to significant healthcare cost savings. Chlamydia trachomatis can be detected either by a urine test with ligase chain reaction (LCR) assays or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays from an endocervical swab. Treatment is usually simple and effective with azithromycin.
