Symptoms of chlamydia infection vary depending on the type of infection. Chlamydia pneumoniae infection often presents with upper respiratory tract symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, and hoarseness, followed by persistent fever and dry cough; severe cases may lead to pneumonia or myocarditis. Chlamydia trachomatis infection commonly causes ocular symptoms such as conjunctival congestion and tearing, and may also result in urogenital infections manifesting as frequent urination and urgency. Chlamydia psittaci infection primarily manifests as respiratory symptoms, including fever and cough, and severe cases may lead to septicemia or bacteremia. Individuals experiencing related symptoms should seek medical attention promptly.
