CONCLUSION The risk of developing late complications after chlamydia lower
genital tract infection appears low. High quality RCTs dealing with the

screening programmes, chlamydia antibody testing, as an intermediate marker for
potential adverse sequelae, might enable more precise estimates. (Source: Human
