2025 European guideline on the management of Chlamydia trachomatis infections

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infections remain common globally and most frequently are asymptomatic. The 2025 European C. trachomatis guideline provides up-to-date guidance regarding indications for testing and treatment of C. trachomatis infections. It includes advice on urogenital and extragenital C. trachomatis testing including the use of self-collected specimens; recommendation to use only validated NAATs for diagnosis; and recommendation to treat all C. trachomatis infections with doxycycline as first line in preference to single-dose azithromycin regimens. The absence of evidence and limited value of broad screening in asymptomatic populations for C. trachomatis infections is also discussed.
