“…Vertical transmission of infection from mother to the infant may result in the development of conjunctivitis and pneumonia [14,15]. In the past, multiple investigations of paediatric pneumonia have emphasised the importance of infections with Ct in infants between 2 weeks and 4 months of age [16][17][18]. While stringent prenatal screening in the USA has greatly reduced the number of cases of neonatal conjunctivitis, there have been reports that ocular prophylaxis can fail to prevent neonatal chlamydial conjunctivitis and does not prevent colonisation or infection at other sites, such as the lungs [3,19].…”

“…Generalised nodular shadowing has also been documented (Herieka & Dhar, 2001). The radiographic image may show a more serious condition than suggested by the physical examination (Darville, 2005;Miller, 2006).…”

“…Severe congenital pneumonia due to C. trachomatis may even lead to fatal consequences in very preterm babies (25-32 weeks of gestation) (Attenburrow & Barker, 1986). Respiratory failure may affect primarily very preterm, low birth-weight infants, but there are documented cases of these also among near term babies or in untreated neonatal pneumonia (Herieka & Dhar, 2001, Zar et al, 1999. C. trachomatis infection has been associated with seriously chronic, occasionally lethal forms of pulmonary disorders of ventilated preterm neonates.…”
