What are the symptoms of chlamydia in children?

In babies who get chlamydia after birth to infected mothers, babies may have conjuncitivitis (pinkeye) that shows up after a week or so. Those with pneumonia caused by chlamydia trachomatis can have a cough, rapid breathing, and abnormal x-ray. Children with chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia appear to be more likely to have asthma later in life. Children who get chlamydia from sexual abuse have the same types of symptoms, or, more commonly, lack of symptoms, as adults with chlamydia.
