Chlamydial Persistence Redux

open access: closed, 2014
The purpose of this chapter is to define what one do and do not know about chlamydial persistence with the goal of determining the extent of the role that persistence plays in chlamydial disease (if at all) and what one should do to better understand this chlamydial attribute. Out of P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, and P.

Persistence, Relapses, and Reinfections of Chlamydial Infections

open access: closed, 1989
Chlamydial infections can remain clinically silent for a considerable period of time. Both human beings and animals can be carriers of C. trachomatis and C. psittaci for years.

Persistent Urethral Leukocytosis and Asymptomatic Chlamydial Urethritis

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1979
Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from 47% of asymptomatic, sexually active men whose urethral smears contained four or more polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) per high-power field (hpf) one week after their sexual activity was restricted. C. trachomatis was not detected in any of 23 asymptomatic, sexually active men having less than 4 PMN/hpf in two ...

The Role of Chlamydial Colonization of the Gastrointestinal Tract in the Development and Persistence of Chronic Chlamydial Infections

open access: closedMolecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology, 2018
Diseases caused by C. trachomatis have an adverse impact on male and female health and the reproductive function and are among the leading causes of infertility. Even though C. trachomatis is a sexually transmitted pathogen adapted to the epithelial cells of the urogenital tract (UGT), it has a fairly wide tropism and can infect blood cells ...

Implications for persistent chlamydial infections of phagocyte-microorganism interplay

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1991
In vitro models of Chlamydia trachomatis inhibition by cytokines, human-monocyte derived macrophages (HMDM) and human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (HPMN) are discussed in an attempt to delineate the molecular basis of parasite-host cell interplay in persistent and chronic chlamydial infection. Interferon gamma (IFN) has been found to reversibly inhibit

Electron microscopic evidence of persistent chlamydial infection following treatment

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2001
Abstract Chlamydia trachomatis infections of the female and male genital tracts are often asymptomatic and, thus, tend to become persistent. In the persistent state the typical Chlamydia life cycle is arrested and standard antibiotic regimens do not always eradicate this infection. We sought to relate treatment failures in men and women with persistent

Augmented oxidative stress in infertile women with persistent chlamydial infection

Reproductive Biology, 2017
There is established association between oxidative stress, infections of genital tract and fertility. Genital tract infections may provoke increased production of free radicals and generate oxidative stress that can be involved in pathophysiology of a number of reproductive diseases and complications during pregnancy.
