Chlamydia is the most commonly reported infectious disease in the city of Philadelphia. Rates of reported chlamydia infection are consistently higher in women than in men, and are highest in the 15- to 19-year-old age group. Untreated chlamydia may lead to PID, infertility, and increase the chance of ectopic pregnancy.
