Article Synopsis
- Chlamydia infection is often asymptomatic in women, potentially leading to serious health issues like infertility and complications during pregnancy, as well as a possible link to cervical cancer.
- A cross-sectional study in the UAE tested married women for Chlamydia as part of a cervical screening project, excluding unmarried women due to cultural concerns.
- The study found a 2.6% prevalence of Chlamydia among 919 participants, with slightly higher rates in secondary care, highlighting the limited data on Chlamydia in the Middle East compared to Western studies that include younger, high-risk populations.
