Because chlamydia can infect the testes, and because the testes rely on the body being able to tell that it shouldn't attack the sperm made there, there is concern that a vaccine could affect sperm production in men by inducing an autoimmune response. (See related link).
Chlamydia is difficult to diagnose because it often causes no symptoms, and because the bacteria is difficult to culture.
Ninety percent of females with chlamydia have no symptoms, so it can often go undiagnosed in females. Young women and those with a new partner should be tested.
because its difficult to diagnose
A chlamydia culture is a particular type of chlamydia test that tries to grow the bacteria from a sample of body fluid. It is very difficult to do correctly, and so is not a very reliable test. A positive chlamydia culture can be believed, but there are many false negative chlamydia cultures. Talk with your health care provider about the right chlamydia test for your situation.
When a patient has symptoms, they should go to their primary doctor, an emergency room, or the health department. They will diagnose you and write prescriptions.
Yes they can, but it may be difficult to diagnose.

A normal blood test will not detect the infection. To diagnose chlamydia, you need a urine test or swab of the vagina, urethra, rectum, throat, or eye. Blood tests can look for evidence of past infection with chlamydia, but these are of no use in determining current infection and aren't used to diagnose or treat disease.
Interference
Chlamydia does not damage a woman's eggs. It may cause future infertility by damaging the fallopian tubes and making it difficult for the sperm and egg to meet, or by making it difficult for the fertilized egg to pass through the tubes.
Interference - If intermittent and difficult-to-diagnose wireless communication errors occur, interference might be the culprit.

Blood tests can look for evidence of past infection with chlamydia, but these are of no use in determining current infection and aren't used to diagnose or treat disease. A positive blood test showing evidence of past infection will not change as a result of antibiotic treatment.

Often difficult to diagnose, because it is rare, because symptoms come on slowly, and because it can be mistaken for other diseases that cause muscle weakness (limb girdle muscular dystrophy).
