EDIT:
1. If untreated, it often leads to acute salpingitis or pelvic inflammatory disease...which increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy and tubal factor infertility. When it infects the cervix it causes inflammation that results in microscopic cervical ulcerations....which increases the risk of acquiring HIV infection. Bleeding results form inflammation and erosion of the cervical columnar epithelium. (a)
It can also cause acute urethral syndrome, nongonococcal urethritis, and mucopurulent cervicitis [cervical infection]. (b)
It is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that resembles both a virus and bacteria. The organism enters the body as an elementary body, a form in which it is capable of entering uninfected cells. The infection begins when the organism enters a cell and changes into a reticulate body. The reticulate body divides within the cell and infecting adjoining cells. (b)
2. and 3. Chlamydiae are small gram negative, coccoid bacteria (c)
4. Yes. See #49 of http://www.pc.maricopa.edu/Biology/files... Sorry, I couldn't find more info.Health Question & Answer
