Chlamydia: Disease Understanding

Chlamydia Overview

Chlamydial infection, caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI). Age is a strong predictor of risk for chlamydial infections, with the highest infection rates in women occurring during ages 15–24 years. As most individuals with the infection are asymptomatic, it is often left untreated, increasing the risk of transmission and serious health consequences in both sexes. If symptoms occur, they usually appear two to six weeks after infection. Symptoms can include vaginal pain and bleeding, painful urination, and an abnormal discharge from the vagina, urethra, or rectum.

Untreated infection can result in serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy in women, and epididymitis and orchitis in men. Maternal infection is associated with serious adverse outcomes in neonates, such as preterm birth, low birth weight, conjunctivitis, nasopharyngeal infection, and pneumonia. Screening for chlamydia is implemented in several countries and regions, including the US and the UK, to reduce the risks. Screening is recommended in all women younger than 25 years, in all pregnant women, and in women who are at increased risk of infection.

The Aptima Combo 2 Assay and the Xpert CT/NG were the first tests cleared for extragenital diagnostic testing to detect the presence of the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis via the throat and rectum. These tests were previously only cleared for testing urine, vaginal and endocervical samples. The availability of these two tests helped fill an unmet public health need by allowing for more screening. Recently, US FDA approved using the Binx Health IO CT/NG Assay at point-of-care settings to help with more quick and appropriate treatment of chlamydia. Access to faster diagnostic results and appropriate treatments will make significant strides in combatting Chlamydia infections.

Treating C. trachomatis prevents adverse reproductive health complications and continued sexual transmission. Furthermore, treating the sex partners prevent reinfection and infection of other partners. Also, treating pregnant women usually prevents C. trachomatis in neonates during birth. For the treatment of chlamydia infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends 100 mg of doxycycline twice daily for 7 days. Alternate regimens include oral administration of either 1 g of azithromycin in a single dose of Levofloxacin 500 mg orally once daily for 7 days.

While antibiotics have successfully treated most uncomplicated C. trachomatis urogenital infections, treatment does not generally resolve persistent infections or prevent autoimmunity. Repeat and persistent infections are common among at-risk adolescent and young adult populations. Even with appropriate detection, there is increasing evidence for antibiotic resistance to the common drugs used to treat C. trachomatis.

Chlamydia: Epidemiology

The Chlamydia epidemiology division provides insights about the historical and current patient pool, along with the forecast trend for every seven major countries. It helps recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends, along with assumptions undertaken.

Key Findings

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical and forecasted Chlamydia epidemiology segmented as the diagnosed incident cases of chlamydia, gender-specific cases of chlamydia, symptom-specific cases of chlamydia, and age-specific cases of chlamydia. The report includes the Diagnosed incident scenario chlamydia in the 7MM covering the United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan from 2021 to 2034.

Country-wise Chlamydia Epidemiology

The epidemiology segment also provides the Chlamydia epidemiology data and findings across the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.

• The total diagnosed incident population of chlamydia in the 7MM countries was 3,453,387 cases in 2021.
