چکیده
Chlamydia trachomatis infections are one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). An estimated 300 million cases have been reported worldwide. Currently, 84% of reported STDs in Canada are attributable to genital chlamydial infections. Genital Chlamydia became nationally notifiable in Canada in 1990; however, data from all provinces and territories are only available from 1992 onward. Prior to 1990, positive test results were collected from Canadian laboratories through a voluntary reporting system.
