Abstract

The review highlights the high social significance of chlamydial infection of urogenital localization. The issues of epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of this pathology are discussed. The choice of antimicrobial agents for therapy taking into account the principles of rational use of antibiotics is suggested.
