Female urogenital chlamydia is a disease caused by infection in the female urogenital tract. It is a common bacterial sexually transmitted disease. The bacteria is transmitted through sexual contact with an infected partner or from mother to newborn during vaginal delivery. The prevalence varies among studies and the number is possibly higher due to the lack of massive screening. Many patients were asymptomatic and still be able to transmit the disease. The undiagnosed and untreated disease could cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which leads to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. The prevalence among pregnant women is similar to non-pregnant women, therefore chlamydia screening in pregnant women is highly recommended. The nucleic acid amplification test is the most reliable method for the diagnosis due to high sensitivity. The current treatment is given by prescribing antibiotics.
女性泌尿生殖道衣原体感染是一种由女性泌尿生殖道感染引起的疾病。它是一种常见的细菌性性传播疾病。该细菌通过与受感染的伴侣进行性接触传播，或在阴道分娩期间从母亲传播给新生儿。不同研究中的患病率有所不同，由于缺乏大规模筛查，实际感染人数可能更高。许多患者没有症状，但仍能够传播疾病。未经诊断和治疗的疾病可能会导致盆腔炎，进而导致不孕、宫外孕和慢性盆腔疼痛。孕妇中的患病率与非孕妇相似，因此强烈建议对孕妇进行衣原体筛查。核酸扩增检测因其高灵敏度是诊断最可靠的方法。目前的治疗方法是开具抗生素。
