¿Qué es Chlamydia?

Descriptions of trachoma, an eye infection caused by *C. trachomatis*, date back to ancient Egypt and Greece. The organism itself was first successfully isolated from human tissue in the early 20th century. Its recognition as a major sexually transmitted infection and a significant cause of preventable blindness gained widespread attention later in the century.

Síntomas

  • Often asymptomatic, meaning most infected individuals experience no symptoms.
  • In women: Abnormal vaginal discharge, burning during urination, painful intercourse, lower abdominal pain, abnormal bleeding between periods.
  • In men: Penile discharge, burning during urination, pain or swelling in one or both testicles.
  • Rectal infection: Rectal pain, discharge, or bleeding.
  • Eye infection (trachoma, caused by specific strains): Redness, discharge, itching, light sensitivity, potentially leading to scarring and blindness if untreated.

Transmisión

*Chlamydia trachomatis* is primarily transmitted through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sexual contact with an infected partner. It can also be transmitted from an infected pregnant person to their baby during childbirth, potentially causing eye infections (conjunctivitis) or pneumonia in the newborn.

Período de Contagio: Varies by disease

Prevención

  • Abstinence (not having sex).
  • Consistent and correct use of condoms during every sexual encounter.
  • Limiting the number of sexual partners.
  • Regular screening for Chlamydia, especially for sexually active individuals under 25, those with new or multiple partners, or pregnant individuals.
  • Prompt treatment of infected individuals and their sexual partners to prevent re-infection and further spread.
  • *No vaccine is currently available for genital Chlamydia infection.*
