Rarely, chlamydia can cause severe right upper quadrant pain that may mimic hepatitis. This is known as Fitz-Hugh Curtis syndrome, and is a form of PID.

Can chlamydia be mistaken for another problem?

When chlamydia is diagnosed by laboratory testing, rather than a clinical diagnosis, it is not likely to be a mistaken diagnosis. Mistakes occur when health care providers don't think about chlamydia when seeing someone with painful urination. It's not unusual for a patient to be treated for a UTI without testing, get only partial relief, and then later find out she has chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis.


If you have hpv and cells removed and partner has chlamydia and now I have it with an open wound what could happen?

Just get tested and treated, and if you have any further procedures, abstain from intercourse according to the directions given by your health care provider. There are no special chlamydia risks with an open wound, but there are other risks -- if your partner has chlamydia, the parnter has put him/herself at risk for bloodborne pathogens like HIV and hepatitis as well.
