Chlamydia: Possible Mechanisms of the Long Term Complications
نویسنده
چکیده
Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the infectious cause of ocular disease that is endemic in the regions with limited sanitary resources. The infection may start on eye lids and progress to trichiasis, keratoconjunctivitis and corneal opacity, that eventually lead to vision loss. The chronic infection of the same microorganism in female reproductive system may be associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy and is proposed to induce ovarian cancer by chronic tubal inflammation. The causative microorganism is also demonstrated to be one of the infectious sources of male infertility. Chlamydia pneumonia, the other serotype of the microorganism, which is capable of pulmonary infection, has been demonstrated to induce nasal polyps, asthma in pediatric and adult population.
