Chlamydia pid is just part of the overall spectrum of disease caused by chlamydia organisms. even though we now understand more about stis and their complications, we are still exploring how the organisms "branch out" beyond just a single infection. which of the following diseases have chlamydia infection as an etiology?
select all diseases associated with chlamydia.
a. pneumonia.
b. acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids).
c. infertility.
d. fetal birth defects (teratogenicity).
e. cervical cancer.
f. lymphogranuloma venereum (lgv).
g. trachoma.
h. inclusion conjunctivitis.

The correct answers are options a. "pneumonia", b. "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)", c. "infertility", e. "cervical cancer", f. "lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)." g. "trachoma", and h. "inclusion conjunctivitis".

Explanation:

Chlamydia is the genre of a group of infectious bacteria associated with the development of multiple diseases, including the following.

a. Pneumonia. The bacteria Chlamydia pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of community-acquired pneumonia.

b. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Having Chlamydia as a sexually transmitted disease increases the risk of getting infected with HIV, the virus responsible of AIDS.

c. Infertility. If a Chlamydia infection is not treated properly it could result in infertility, as well as chronic pain and ectopic pregnancy.

e. Cervical cancer. Chlamydia contributes to the risk of developing cervical cancer. Scientific studies support this statement, being particularly risky when the patient is exposed to multiple strains of Chlamydia.

f. Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). This sexually transmitted disease is not as common as other diseases caused by Chlamydia, but it is known that Chlamydia trachomatis is the cause of it.

g. Trachoma. Chlamydia trachomatis is the cause of trachoma, a disease that could result in complications in the eye, even blindness.

h. Inclusion conjunctivitis. It is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis as well. This infectious disease is diagnosed by the symptoms of chronic unilateral hyperemia and mucopurulent discharge.
