Chlamydia: Epidemiology, Course of Disease, and Screening Recommendations
Epidemiology
Chlamydial infection is the most common sexually transmitted bacterial infection in the United States. In 2007, more than 1.1 million chlamydia cases were reported to the CDC. It is thought that another million cases of chlamydia remain unreported.
Course of disease
Chlamydia is often insidious and asymptomatic. In women, genital chlamydial infection may result in urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. Chlamydial infection during pregnancy is related to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, premature rupture of membranes, preterm labor, low birth weight, and infant mortality.
Screening recommendations
The USPSTF found fair evidence that nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) can identify chlamydial infection in asymptomatic men and women, including asymptomatic pregnant women, with high test specificity. In low prevalence populations, however, a positive test is more likely to be a false positive than a true positive, even with the most accurate tests available.
Qualities of a Good Screening Test
1. The condition should be an important health problem and the condition screened for must have a high prevalence in the population.
2. There should be a latent stage of the disease.
3. There should also be effective treatment for the condition being screened.
4. Facilities for diagnosis and treatment should be available.
5. There should be a test or examination for the condition.
6. The test should be acceptable to the population and the total cost of finding a case should be economically balanced in relation to medical expenditure as a whole. The potential benefits of early detection and treatment of a condition need to be weighed against many factors, including adverse side effects of the screening test, time and effort required (of both the patient and the health care system) to take the test, financial cost of the test, potential psychological and phys.
One of the most important steps to giving birth to a healthy child is taking care of yourself first. Your child’s health starts with yours and is heavily influenced by your medical history, your family’s health history along with a combination of a healthy diet and exercise plan.
Patients and their loved ones often hold critical knowledge that informs diagnosis. This toolkit from the Institute of Medicine offers patients, families and clinicians guidance on how they can collaborate to improve diagnosis.
Type 1 Essentials for Children and Young PeopleDiabetesUK
The Type 1 essentials for children and young people outline the ten things any parent should expect from their child’s diabetes care. It includes the care, checks and help that the child or family need to make sure their condition is managed well – in hospital, school and wider society.
Things You Need to Know About Cervical Health Awareness MonthDr. Martha Tara Lee
January is Cervical Health Awareness Month. ❤️
We think it’s important to share information about how one can protect themselves from HPV (human papillomavirus) and cervical cancer.
HPV is a very common infection that spreads through sexual activity, and it causes almost all cases of cervical cancer.
✔️ Get vaccinated against HPV.
The most common form of the vaccine protects against two types of HPV that cause 70% of cervical cancers: types 16 and 18. The vaccine also protects against four other high-risk types (6, 11, 16, and 18).
✔️ Talk with your doctor or nurse about the HPV vaccine.
The HPV vaccine is recommended for those aged 11-12. It is given in three doses over six months. The vaccine protects against most types of HPV that cause both cervical cancer and genital warts. It’s safe and effective when given at the recommended age.
👉 Early detection is key to preventing cervical cancer.
We hope this post has given you a better understanding of what cervical health awareness month is, why it’s important, and how to take control of your own health. The more informed we are, the more we can do for ourselves. And remember: don’t be afraid to ask questions!

Why regular health check-ups are vital for your well-being.pptxRahul Khanna
Maintaining good health is essential for leading a happy and productive life. However, many people tend to ignore their health until they fall sick. Regular health check-ups are an effective way to identify any underlying health issues and prevent them from turning into more severe problems.

1. A HEALTHIER YOU
Get to Know Your Health
Understanding your health can be the first step toward improvement, and a preventive care exam and a health
assessment are great ways to get started.
PREVENTIVE CARE:
Getting the right preventive care services at the right time can help you stay healthier by:
· Preventing certain illnesses and health conditions from happening; or
· Detecting a health problem at a stage that may be easier to treat.
That’s why your Savers medical plan covers designated preventive care services at no cost to you. Preventive
care services are provided when you don’t have any symptoms and haven’t been diagnosed with the health issue
connected with the preventive service. For example, a flu vaccination is given to prevent the flu before you get it.
Checkups, immunizations and screenings are an important part of staying healthy. They can help detect or prevent
serious diseases and keep you in tip-top shape. And, if your doctor is part of the Cigna network, preventive services
are 100% covered. You primary care physician can help you coordinate what tests and shots are right for you,
based on your age, gender and family history.
· Make a Checklist- Ask your doctor about these key vaccinations and screenings:
Men & Women Men Women
§ Influenza (Flu)
§ Measles, Mumps, Rubella
(MMR)
§ Tetanus, Diptheria and
Pertussis (Td/Tdap)
§ Prostate Screening (Age

§ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Screening ( Ages 65-75)
§ Colon Cancer Screening (Age

§ Annual Mammogram
(Ages 40+, every 1-2
years)
§ Cervical Cancer Screening
(pap test) (Ages 21+, every
3 years)
§ Colon Cancer Screening
(Ages 50+)
CHILDREN’S PREVENTIVE CARE:
Here are the top five things you can do to help keep your kids healthy:
1. Get recommended vaccines and screenings tests.
2. Encourage physical activity.
3. Feed them healthy meals and snacks.
4. Help your child stay at a healthy weight.
5. Provide preventive medicines if your child’s doctor prescribes them.
The next time you bring your child in for a checkup, talk to your pediatrician about which preventive tests and
screenings are right for your child based on age, gender and family history.
If your child misses a scheduled vaccination, you don’t need to start over. Just bring your child back in to your
pediatrician’s office for the shot. The doctor will keep your child up-to-date on all vaccinations. Questions? Talk to
your doctor.
