Up to 40% of
women with untreated chlamydia will develop PID. Undiagnosed PID caused by
chlamydia is common. Of those with PID, 20% will become infertile; 18%
will experience debilitating, chronic pelvic pain; and 9% will have a
life-threatening tubal pregnancy. Tubal pregnancy is the leading cause of
first-trimester, pregnancy-related deaths in American women. (Source: excerpt from Chlamydia in the US: DSTD)
