Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is named after a class of microorganisms that target the genitals and the lymph nodes that surround them. Chlamydia is the most common form of sexually transmitted disease, with as many as 8 million new cases diagnosed in the United States each year. Overall, chlamydia affects women more often than it does men, and the health risks posed by chlamydia are also typically more serious for women, as well as for babies born to mother affected with the disease.

Chlamydia is usually transmitted through intimate sexual contact but it can also be transmitted without sex, such as from an infected mother to her newborn child.
