**11. Conclusion**

Chlamydial infection is a significant worldwide public health problem, affecting both general and special populations. Early identification and management of high risk populations, with defined strategies, will eliminate crucially the burden of chlamydial infection. Obstetricians, gynecologists, midwives and pediatricians/ neonatologists should be educated up-to-date and offered trustworthy guidance on the latest data in chlamydial infection. By applying scientific knowledge in clinical practice, these professionals can provide direct, optimal and evidence-based care to every pediatric patient.
