Female Genital Tract - Chlamydia trachomatis Infection
Chlamydia trachomatis elementary bodies infect the columnar epithelial cells of the cervix, which often causes few or no clinical symptoms.
The bacteria can ascend to infect the endometrium and the fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, tubal inflammation (also known as salpingitis), scarring and occlusion, which can lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
The inflammatory reaction is characterized by an influx of macrophages and neutrophils and the formation of immune inductive sites in the submucosa.
These inductive sites, which contain B cells, T cells, dendritic cells and macrophages, coordinate the initiation of an acquired immune response, including the deployment of a secretory IgA (sIgA) response. pIgA, polymeric IgA.
