Abstract
The article is devoted to the issue of chlamydial infections, resp. diseases caused by the microorganism Chlamydia trachomatis. The communication is divided into sections that deal with our genital infections in women, men and all newborns.
A short chapter is devoted to Reiter's syndrome. It is determined that chlamydial infections are becoming increasingly important, as evidenced by the dramatic impact of their detection in the United States during the 80s and 90s of the last century, respectively. until 2003.
In the Czech Republic, unfortunately, accurate data on the incidence of these infections that are affected, which diseases are not subject to mandatory reporting and control, and prevalence studies on chlamydial infections. However, it can be expected that the onset of these infections needs to be further negligible and that the most at risk Member States will have mainly adolescents and young people.
The risk increases with the number of sexual partners. Be prepared for the fact that infections often occur inapparently or with minimal parameters, preventive examination of young women under 25 years and younger is recommended.
In the Czech Republic, these screenings are not routinely performed, but they were certainly appropriate. It would be possible to offer, for example, for gynecological examinations or for which the doctor prescribes contraceptives.
On the other hand, men's ongoing infections have a number of clinical difficulties, so doctors, especially young men with symptoms of urethritis or epididymitis, carry out the disease to think about and perform sampling techniques. In infants, the infection manifests itself within 12 days after birth.
Common treatment of conjunctival sacs (also performed in the Czech Republic) is the prevention of gonococcal infection, but does not protect against chlamydial infection. Chlamydial pneumonia belongs to catypic pneumonia.
Thus, the clinical picture is poor and the disease does not change as fast as the infection of other bacterial etiologies. A similar finding may occur, for example, with umycoplasma, varicellosis or morbilous pneumonias.
The latter does not occur in our territory. The following exceptional occurrence of measles, as a complication of chickenpox is not rare.
