The authors present a literature review about cervicovaginitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and discuss the epidemiology, therapy and follow-up of the patients. Nowadays, women previously treated for chlamydial infection and presenting positive tests are considered reinfected. However, the authors discuss studies showing evidence of latent infection that persists after treatment, and therefore emphasize the importance of treatment follow-up.
