“…Neste estudo, foi encontrada a associação significativa da infecção urogenital por C. trachomatis em jovens de idade igual ou inferior a 25 anos, o que é amplamente relatado em várias populações no mundo 10,16,17,18 . Por ser observada ampla exposição aos fatores de risco para as IST nesse período de vida, alguns países desenvolveram os serviços de rastreio no pré-natal, estabelecidos prioritariamente para as mulheres jovens, de até 25 anos de idade 19,20,21,22 .…”

“…6 Although adolescents account for just 10% of the population in Catalonia (similar to Spain), an increase in the estimated prevalence of CT infection in those aged 16–18 years has been observed in 2015. 7 , 8 STIs deserve attention not only because of their high prevalence but also because they often go undetected and untreated leading to serious reproductive morbidity and mortality. 9 In addition, there is increasing concern about the emergence of antibiotic resistance to Neisseria gonorrhoeae .…”

Monitoring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in adolescents is essential to inform STI prevention strategies at primary and secondary levels in this key population. We aim to describe recent trends in STIs among adolescents and to analyse their socio-demographic and behavioural characteristics in Catalonia, Spain between 2012 and 2017. Data on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection, gonorrhoea and syphilis cases aged from 13 to 19 years reported to the Catalan Mandatory Notifiable System from 2012 to 2017 were analysed. Diagnosis rates were calculated and a descriptive analysis was performed. Between 2012 and 2017, CT infection, gonorrhoea and syphilis cases reported among adolescents aged 13–19 years accounted for more than one-eleventh of all reported cases in Catalonia. The rate of the three nationally-notifiable STIs increased dramatically among adolescents. CT infection rates rose from 13 to 144.1 per 100,000 adolescents between 2012 and 2017, an increase of 1007%; gonorrhoea cases increased by 246% (from 13.4 to 45.4/100,000) and syphilis cases increased by 247% (from 1.7 to 5.9/100,000). Gonorrhoea and syphilis cases affected mainly males while CT infection cases were mostly in females (84%). Adolescents are being increasingly affected by CT infection, gonorrhoea and syphilis. A broader array of intervention strategies aimed at adolescents should be reinforced through strong prevention campaigns, improved sexual health information, as well as encouragement of regular offers of STI screening by healthcare providers.

“…A infecção por Chlamydia trachomatis é um problema de saúde pública de dimensão global. Todavia, essa realidade é mais acentuada em países em desenvolvimento, porém em países como os Estados Unidos da América apesar de ter um acompanhamento ginecológico para identificação da CT ainda existe uma alta prevalência da bactéria nas mulheres Americanas, revelando a gravidade do problema (Lopes, 2014;López-Corbeto et al, 2016).…”

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is a Gram negative bacterium that parasitizes eukaryotic cells, most frequently in the female cervix, causing several consequences to the health of women. It presents two forms, the first called elementary bodies (EC) being the infectious and resistant form that survives in the extracellular environment and the second, called reticular bodies (CR), the proliferative form of the bacterium. CT is a very virulent pathogen, with more than twenty serotypes that cause serious pathologies in humans. The present study sought to estimate the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis in the Brazilian population, highlighting the epidemiology, characteristics of the bacterium, the importance of its diagnosis and treatment A literature review was carried out based on studies of articles published between 2009 and 2018, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, with a total of 41 articles selected. In Brazil, the diagnosis and monitoring of infections by this microorganism is not yet a reality and there are few studies related to the theme, showing a high prevalence of the infection. Therefore, the lack of monitoring and diagnosis of this pathogen may lead to future complications, since the long-term result of infection and the promotion of infertility is seen in several studies. Female patients are the most affected by these pathogens, yet complications can be reported in males.
