Week 10 Case study scenario
A 32-year-old male presents to the urology clinic with complaints of pelvic pain, urinary urgency, and difficulty achieving erections. He reports recent episodes of painful urination and fever. The patient admits to having multiple sexual partners and has not consistently used protection. His medical history includes a previous episode of acute prostatitis treated with antibiotics. Female: A 28-year-old female presents to the gynecology clinic with complaints of lower abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, and fever. She reports a history of irregular menstrual cycles and states she has not been tested for STDs. She has had multiple sexual partners and frequently does not use barrier protection. Laboratory tests confirm the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis in both patients.

What are the two forms of Chlamydia trachomatis and their roles in the infection process?
How does chlamydia trachomatis enter the host cells?
Describe the transformation process of elementary bodies into reticulate bodies within the host cell.
What is the significance of the inclusion vacuole in the life cycle of Chlamydia?
What mechanisms does chlamydia use to inhibit apoptosis of infected cells?
What role do pathogen recognition receptors play in the host’s immune response to Chlamydia?
