Have chlamydia treatments changed over time?
There hasn't been a problem with drug resistance with chlamydia, but the biggest change was the introduction of azithromycin, which is a one-day treatment that's easier to complete than the previous seven-day doxycycline or erythromycin treatment.
How long does it take azithromycin to clear all symptoms of chlamydia?
Per CDC recommendations, patients being treated should avoid oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse (even with a condom) until 7 days have passed since the last partner completed treatment with azithromycin (Zithromax, Zmax). Chlamydia can damage the body, but the germ is gone after effective treatment is completed. Even though azithromycin treats chlamydia with a single dose, it doesn't work immediately. After taking one dose treatment, it continues to work in your body over the course of the next week.

Why azithromycine is superior than macrolide?
Azithromycin is a macrolide derivative referred to as an azalide. It was approved for clinical use in 1992 and has several advantages over traditional macrolides such as erythromycin. Azithromycin is more acid stable and therefore has greater oral bioavailability. It has a longer half life and thus can be administered once daily. Azithromycin also achieves higher tissue concentrations and enhanced antimicrobial activity compared with erythromycin.Finally, azithromycin has a lower incidence of adverse side effects and drug interactions than other macrolides. In obstetrics and gynecology, azithromycin is of primary value for treatment of respiratory tract infections and chlamydial infections.

How has the approach to chlamydia changed over the years?
The approach to chlamydia has changed over the years in a number of ways:Increased options for testing: when chlamydia culture was the only choice, it was hard to detect chlamydia. Culture is difficult and has a high risk of false positive. In addition, urethral swabs were not something men looked forward to. The advent of nonculture testing has decreased the risk of false positives, and the introduction of effective urine testing and self-administered vaginal swabs means that chlamydia screening is noninvasive and doesn't require the presence of a health care provider to complete the exam.More indications for testing: routine chlamydia screening became much more common in the 1990s. Rather than testing only people with symptoms, more people were tested for risk factors such as age or multiple sex partners. Screening of pregnant women decreases the chances of chlamydia-related disease in newborns.More options for treatment: single-dose treatment with azithromycin increases the chances of compliance with treatment.Better understanding of the consequences: Since chlamydia is the leading cause of infertility, governments have set aside money for screening to prevent chlamydia-related infertility through early detection and treatment. In addition, US states in the 1990s and early 2000s made chlamydia reportable, and increased the use of contact tracing to decrease chlamydia in local communities.
