Information ⬇

NAATs of urine or urogenital swabs are the diagnostic tests of choice. Serologic testing may be helpful in the diagnosis of LGV and neonatal pneumonia caused by C. trachomatis, but it is not useful in diagnosing uncomplicated urogenital infections.

Treatment: Infections with Chlamydia Trachomatis

  • See “Specific Syndromes,” above.
  • LGV should be treated with doxycycline (100 mg PO bid) or erythromycin base (500 mg PO qid) for at least 3 weeks.
