Chlamydia trachomatis infections affect young, sexually active persons. Risk factors include multiple
partners and failure to use condoms. The incidence of infection has increased in the past 10 years.
Untreated C. trachomatis infections are responsible for a large proportion of salpingitis, ectopic
pregnancy, infertility and, to a lesser extent, epididymitis. This review summarizes C. trachomatis
infection in the male genitourinary tract, including urethritis, epididymitis, orchitis, and its
complications, and addresses the microbiology, epidemiology, screening, clinical manifestations,
diagnosis, and treatment.
Screening is a possible intervention to control the infection, which is often asymptomatic. The
emergence of lymphogranuloma venereum proctitis in men who have sex with men, in Europe, and of
a variant with a deletion in the cryptic plasmid, in Sweden, are new features of C. trachomatis
infections in the last years. A diagnosis is best made by using nucleic acid amplification tests, because
they perform well and do not require invasive procedures for specimen collection. Single-dose
therapy has been a significant development for treatment of an uncomplicated infection of the patient
and his or her sexual partner.
Antigen detection, the enzyme immunoassay test and nucleic acid hybridization tests remain
important challenges. Nucleic acid amplification technologies make non-invasive urine testing cost
effective and easily performed in primary care. Historically the diagnosis of C. Trachoma infections
has been difficult, but newer chlamydia diagnostic tests have become clinically available in the past
decade.
