Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis infection in pregnant women is a critical condition because the infection can induce an ectopic gestation, preterm delivery, premature rupture of membranes, and chorioamnionitis. Furthermore, the newborn may become infected by vertical transmission; however, at present there are evidences that intrauterine infections can occur. Here we examine this evidence and describe the clinical manifestations shown by these newborns after their delivery. We suggest the possibility of multi-systemic infection in these newborns.
