Contact with the chlamydia infection
can cause eye infections (conjunctivitis). Gonorrhea and chlamydia are
associated with a form of arthritis
called septic arthritis, and Reiter's
Syndrome, which
can include reactive arthritis. |

Complications among men are rare. Infection sometimes spreads to the epididymis (a tube that carries sperm from the testis), causing pain, swelling, fever, and, rarely, sterility. This is called epididymitis. |
