There Is More to Chlamydia Than Just STIs

Abstract

“In the United States chlamydia is associated with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but that is not the only thing that chlamydia causes,” said Dr. Lutter. She also stated that ocular trachoma, from chlamydia, is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. In the world, there are approximately 9 billion people who permanently go blind due to this disease.
