Abstract
In diseases caused by Chl psittaci, a hematogenic type of infection is often observed, accompanied by damage to the CNS and internal organs: liver, spleen, lung. Lymphogenic spread of chlamydia (Chl trachomatis, venereal lymphogranulematosis) is possible. The hematogenic pathway of infection is most frequently observed in Chl trachomatis diseases (serovars D and K). Different biological variants (subspecies) of chlamydia cause lesions of different organs and systems. Chl trachomatis causes conjunctivitis, locally affects the mucous eye and urogenital tract.
