Epidemiology of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in women and the cost-effectiveness of screening

CONCLUSION The risk of developing late complications after chlamydia lower genital tract infection appears low. High quality RCTs dealing with the transition from cervicitis to infertility are needed to broaden the evidence. In screening programmes, chlamydia antibody testing, as an intermediate marker for potential adverse sequelae, might enable more precise estimates. (Source: Human Reproduction Update)
