How is chlamydia in reference with diplococci?
It is gonorrhea that is a diplococcus, not chlamydia.
What are the common co-infections for chlamydia?
There are a few ways that this question can be answered:What other diseases can be caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis?Chlamydia trachomatis causes chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease. It also causes endemic trachoma. Chlamydia trachomatis can also cause lymphogranuloma venereum, another sexually transmitted disease. Each of these infections is caused by a slightly different version of the bacteria. What symptoms, syndromes, or complications can the STI chlamydia cause?Chlamydia in men and women can cause urethritis, conjunctivitis, proctitis, or pharyngitis. In men, it can cause epididymitis, prostatitis, and orchitis. In women it can cause PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). In babies born to women with chlamydia, chlamydia trachomatis can cause pneumonia or conjunctivitis. In addition, chlamydia trachomatis is associated with Reiter's syndrome. What other infections are often found with chlamydia trachomatis?Patients tested for chlamydia usually get tested for gonorrhea at the same time as they both require the same specimen collection technique and may carry the same symptoms.
Are chlamydia cocci?
Cocci and bacilli do not cause chlamydia. Cocci cause gonorrhea.
What other disease can have the same symptoms as chlamydia?
Gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis can have very similar symptoms.
Can a gram stain detect chlamydia?
A gram stain cannot detect chlamydia. A gram stain in men that finds gram negative diplococci is considered diagnostic for gonorrhea, but it can't be used in females, and it can't prove chlamydia. A gram stain in men can be used to rule out gonorrhea and possibly diagnose "non-gonococcal urethritis" if a male has symptoms. However, although it may seem that NGU is synonymous with chlamydia, there are other possible causes.
What STDs are known to cause pelvic inflammatory disease?
Both gonorrhea and chlamydia may cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Many cases occur without chlamydia or gonorrhea, though.
Can a yeast infection be a sign of chlamydia?
A yeast infection is not a sign of chlamydia.

Can you get pregnant from makeing out?
Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex; genital-genital contact; and sharing sex toys. Chlamydia can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth. If none of these is in your definition of "making out," then you can't get chlamydia from making out.
