Where this comes from

Abstract

The guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control should be applied with appreciation of their limitations. The serious sequelae of chlamydial infections in young patients warrant vigorous antichlamydial therapy and specific microbiologic diagnosis. Until public health authorities implement control programs, the efforts of individual practitioners will probably be the mainstay of the flight against C. trachomatis.
