The most serious complication of chlamydial infection is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can damage the fallopian tubes and result in tubal scarring and infertility. In fact, PID causes over 25 percent of the infertility in women pursuing in vitro fertilization in the United States.10 Tubal scarring can also increase the risks for developing a subsequent ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.
