Abstract:
The finding that Chlamydia trachomatis is a significant respiratory pathogen in young infants has focused attention on its possible role in other respiratory diseases in children. There have been several reports of otitis media occurring in adults with experimental1 and natural inclusion conjunctivitis.2 Tripple et al3 suggest that secretory otitis media may be a common occurrence in infants with chlamydial pneumonia. C trachomatis was isolated from the middle ear fluids of three of 11 infants with chlamydial pneumonia who had serous otitis media. However, this study was limited to infants less than 6 months of age. Little is known about respiratory infection with C trachomatis in older children.
