f. Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). This sexually transmitted disease is not as common as other diseases caused by Chlamydia, but it is known that Chlamydia trachomatis is the cause of it.

g. Trachoma. Chlamydia trachomatis is the cause of trachoma, a disease that could result in complications in the eye, even blindness.

h. Inclusion conjunctivitis. It is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis as well. This infectious disease is diagnosed by the symptoms of chronic unilateral hyperemia and mucopurulent discharge.
