Abstract
As the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI), Chlamydia is relevant in many specialties as strains can greatly impact multiple systems of the body including urogenital, respiratory, and ocular. Clinicians should be aware of the signs and symptoms presenting in different strains of chlamydia infection and what considerations should be made when determining the best treatment regimen. This article discusses these considerations and treatment options while emphasizing testing and screening recommendations to decrease overall prevalence and long-term consequences of untreated ocular, respiratory, and urogenital infection.
