Abstract

The 14th International Symposium on Chlamydial Human Infections was held in Zeist, the Netherlands, in July 1 to 6, 2018. The main issues discussed were genitourinary chlamydial infection as one of the most common sexually transmitted infections; fundamental approaches and achievements in its laboratory diagnosis; the immunopathogenetic aspects of development of diseases; and the standards and tactics of Chlamydia treatment. The paper outlines current knowledge on human chlamydial infection. It presents the latest data from studies on Chlamydia trachomatis, as well as trends of the most promising researches.
