**10. Prognosis**

If proper treatment starts early, chlamydial infection should resolve without complications and with good prognosis, overall. Patients with mild symptoms usually recover within 7–10 days after initiation of the treatment. Dry cough and general weakness can persist after the disease, slowing complete remission from 1 week to 2 months. If neglected, serious complications may develop which can even lead to mortality [36].
