Abstract

The authors report a peculiar type of maternofetal Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection in a 34 week-premature neonate. The revealing sign was the occurrence, at age 11 days, of frequent apneas with bradycardia, needing mechanical ventilation associated with adapted antibiotic therapy for 14 days. Diagnosis was confirmed by the isolation of CT in tracheal secretions. Immediate evolution was favorable. Literature data are reviewed and a short epidemiological survey is reported.
