Can Chlamydia trachomatis infection resolve on its own?

Some patients with Chlamydia trachomatis infection may recover spontaneously, but most will develop chronic inflammation that persists despite prolonged treatment. The infection can be transmitted to others through sexual contact and may lead to complications such as salpingitis. Prompt treatment is essential after infection. If diagnosed, patients can take anti-inflammatory medications such as azithromycin eye drops. After taking the medication for 1–2 weeks, a follow-up examination at the hospital is recommended. With proper treatment, complete recovery is generally achievable.
