Chlamydia: Understanding
Chlamydia: Overview
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infectious disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. In the United States, it is the most commonly reported bacterial infection. Globally, it is the most common sexually transmitted infection. It causes an ocular infection called "trachoma," which is the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. Chlamydia is unique among bacteria, having an infectious cycle and two developmental forms. These include the infectious form called the elementary body (EB) and the reticulate body (RB). The EB is metabolically inactive and is taken up by host cells. Within the host cell, the EB will differentiate into the metabolically active RB. The RB will then use host energy sources and amino acids to replicate and form new EB, which can then infect additional cells. C. trachomatis targets the squamocolumnar epithelial cells of the endocervix and upper genital tract in women, and the conjunctiva, urethra, and rectum in both men and women.Chlamydia is often referred to as a “silent infection” because most people with a chlamydia infection don’t experience any symptoms. However, it can cause several symptoms in others, including pain, a burning sensation while urinating, abnormal discharge from the penis or vagina; some symptoms of chlamydia may also differ slightly for men and women. Some of the most common symptoms of chlamydia in men includes burning sensation during urination, yellow or green discharge from the penis, pain in the lower abdomen and pain in the testicles Having oral sex with someone who has the infection raises the risk of getting chlamydia in the throat that can include a sore throat, cough, or fever. It’s also possible to carry bacteria in the throat and not know it.
Chlamydia is an STI caused by a specific strain of bacteria known as Chlamydia trachomatis. It is transmitted through vaginal discharge or semen, and can be transmitted through genital contact or oral, vaginal, or anal sex without a barrier method, like a condom. Some of the other risk factors for infection include not using barrier methods like condoms consistently with new sexual partners, having a sexual partner who is having sex with other people, having a history of chlamydia or other STIs. Men and women can both get the infection, but more cases in women are reported. Infection rates are highest among younger women, with the highest rates of infection occurring in women between ages 15 and 24.
The most common test for chlamydia is called a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). The doctor may also do a sample of fluid by doing a vaginal/cervical swab or collecting a urine sample, to check for the bacteria that causes chlamydia. Because most chlamydia cases are asymptomatic, it’s important to get screened for chlamydia even if one don’t notice any signs of infection. The CDC recommends that sexually active women or people AFAB who are high-risk for chlamydia get screened regularly. The disease can be cleared up with antibiotics in about a week or two. Getting tested for other STIs (HIV/AIDS, syphilis, herpes, gonorrhea). It’s common to have multiple STIs, and it’s important to receive treatment that’s tailored to each infection. Also, abstaining from sex until the infection has cleared up. Starting treatment doesn’t mean that one is the safe side. Taking all the necessary medication as per healthcare provider directs can manage the disease and be preventable.
