A74: Other diseases caused by chlamydiae
The group of conditions under the category "Other diseases caused by chlamydiae" is a collection of bacterial infections caused by various species of Chlamydia. These diseases can be transmitted in several ways, including through sexual contact, childbirth, or even exposure to the bacteria in certain environments. The infections can affect various parts of the body, including the eyes, lungs, genital area, and others. Common symptoms range widely, depending on the specific type of infection but often include inflammation, discharge, discomfort, and in some cases, more severe systemic symptoms. The progression of these diseases can vary from slow to fast, and if untreated, may lead to serious health complications. It's important to note that many people with these infections may not show any symptoms but they can still transmit the bacteria to others.
