Despite advances in diagnostic tests in recent decades, chlamydial infections still cannot be controlled, neither in developed countries nor in developing countries. Chlamydial infections date back to the beginning of recorded human history. Trachoma caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, which progresses to blindness, is mentioned in ancient Chinese inscriptions and Egyptian scrolls. Today, we must better apply our knowledge against this clever and evolving obligate intracellular parasitic microorganism. Chlamydia - Secret Enemy from Past to Present examines chlamydial infections using a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach. It discusses the microbiology, clinical presentation, and current approaches in the diagnosis and treatment management of chlamydial infection from the viewpoint of different clinics as well as includes relevant and recent literature. 606 $aInfectious & contagious diseases 606 $aChlamydia$xInfections 606 $aChlamydia infections 606 $aChlamydia infections$xHistory 615 0$aInfectious & contagious diseases. 615 0$aChlamydia$xInfections. 615 0$aChlamydia infections. 615 0$aChlamydia infections$xHistory. 676 $a616.9041 702 $aSarier$b Mehmet 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741322903321 996 $aChlamydia - Secret Enemy From Past to Present$93555636 997 $aUNINA
