D-K
what are the two phases of chlamydia - ✅✅-1. infectious elementary
body (ED)
2. noninfectious reticulate body
basically the EB gets into human, turns into reticulate and multiplies and
eventually releases a ton of the infectious elementary bodies
why is chlamydia called the "silent epidemic" - ✅✅-because it women,
it may not cause any symptoms in most cases
chlamydia symptoms in women - ✅✅ -mucopurulent discharge
