Summary
Reports counts and rates per 100,000 of chlamydia diagnoses. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. Infections can occur in the genitals, rectum, and throat. It is a very common infection, especially among young women aged 15-24 years. Chlamydia is transmitted by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has chlamydia. Chlamydia is easily cured with antibiotics but, if left untreated, can lead to serious health problems. Trends in rates of reported cases of chlamydia are influenced by changes in incidence of infection, as well as changes in diagnostic, screening, and reporting practices. The CDC collects, analyzes, and disseminates surveillance data on STD diagnoses. Data provided here are sourced from CDC's NCHHSTP AtlasPlus based on case report data submitted from all 50 states, Washington, DC, and U.S. territories. The sum of cases by county may not equal the total case count due to missing information. Cases of a given STD refer to confirmed diagnoses during a given time period. For example, the 2012 data on gonococcal infection would include persons with laboratory-confirmed Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection diagnosed between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 and reported to CDC through July 7, 2013. Rates per 100,000 population are based on U.S. Census Bureau population estimates.
