Chlamydia trachomatis infection is now the commonest bacterial, sexually transmitted infection in the UK. Uncomplicated genital chlamydial infection often does not produce symptoms in men or women, but patients may present with sequelae. New diagnostic techniques are available to identify C. trachomatis more easily and new antibiotic regimens provide effective treatment. These factors, together with heightened awareness within the medical profession and the general population, should help to reduce the prevalence of this infection.
沙眼衣原体感染如今是英国最常见的细菌性性传播感染。单纯性生殖器衣原体感染在男性或女性中通常不会产生症状，但患者可能会出现后遗症。现在有新的诊断技术可更轻松地识别沙眼衣原体，并且新的抗生素治疗方案能提供有效的治疗。这些因素，再加上医学界和普通民众意识的提高，应有助于降低这种感染的患病率。
