Abstrakt		Mucopurulent cervicitis and nongonococcal urethritis are most common sexually transmitted diseases in developed countries caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, and affecting adolescents, women under 25 and men under 35 years of age. Prevalence of the infection depends on the presence of risk factors and speci>tcities of social environment. Age seems to be the most important predictor, and when clinical or laboratory signs of mucopurulent cervicitis are present, subjects should be tested for causative agents. The selection of a diagnostic test for detection of chlamydial genital infection depends on availability, local expertise, and prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis in the tested population. Today, a single oral dose of 1 g azithromycin is the preferred treatment. The recommendations for retesting are presented. Treatment of uncomplicated chlamydial infection aims at the diminution of persistent form with complications on reproductive health, like ectopic pregnancy and tubal infertility, as well as potential complications in pregnancy and in a newborn child.
