Overview
Patients with chlamydia infection usually appear to be well. A fever may be present. Physical examination of women with chlamydia infection is usually remarkable for a cloudy, yellow mucoid cervical discharge; friable appearance of the cervix; and cervical motion tenderness.[1][2] Common physical examination findings of chlamydia infection among men include a clear or white urethral discharge, testicular tenderness, and testicular swelling.[1][2]
