Article Synopsis
- Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common bacterial STI globally, with around 80% of infected women showing no symptoms, yet it can cause severe reproductive issues, particularly in rural Amazon regions where data is limited.
- This study assessed C. trachomatis prevalence among women in the Marajó Archipelago, finding a 4% infection rate, especially in those under 25 and with low income.
- Key genotypes identified were similar to those seen in urban Brazil, highlighting the need for increased screening and prevention measures in both rural and urban areas to address this overlooked health issue.
