Question

Chlamydia trachomatis is often asymptomatic. Which symptom manifestations can occur when symptoms are present?

Options

• Only vaginal discharge

• Trachoma (eye infection), urethral discharge, and pelvic pain

• Only urethral discharge

• Only pelvic pain

Answer 1

When symptoms do manifest in chlamydiasis, they include trachoma (eye infection), urethral discharge, and pelvic pain. However, the infection is often asymptomatic, particularly in females, leading to delayed diagnosis and increased risk of ascending infections to the upper reproductive tract.
