Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Clinical Research - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

We present a clinical case report regarding the atypical resolution of a chronic conjunctivitis in young patient with recurrent pharyngitis, asymptomatic chronic prostatitis and infertility of couple, solved after treatment with local, oral and intraprostatic infiltration of massive specific antibiotic therapies. Although several infectious agents are reported causing chronic conjunctivitis, seldom this ocular disease is investigated for Chlamydia trachomatis by molecular PCR approach, in all its whole issue. The chronic conjunctivitis in a young patient represents one of the most common clinical evidences which must be investigated for infectious chlamydial pathology by PCR Chlamydia trachomatis-DNA research together at the other biological sources from different ecosystem sites of the body, but this rarely happens. Further, the couple infertility of the patient was also solved after the massive oral and intraprostatic antibiotic therapies causing a clean-up from several and large intraprostatic parenchymal fibro-calcific areas, condition due to an asymptomatic prostatitis by chronic chlamydial infection. Lastly, the patient developed a precocious reactive arthritis, being a HLA-B27 positive subject.
