Variants in toll-like receptor 1 and 4 genes are associated with Chlamydia trachomatis among women with pelvic inflammatory diseaseBrandie D Taylor
Department of Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA
J Infect Dis 205:603-9. 2012..Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in the innate immune response. We examined whether TLR variants are associated with Chlamydia trachomatis infection among women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)...
The role of Chlamydia trachomatis polymorphic membrane proteins in inflammation and sequelae among women with pelvic inflammatory diseaseBrandie D Taylor
Department of Epidemiology, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USA
Infect Dis Obstet Gynecol 2011:989762. 2011..Seropositivity to chlamydial PmpA may represent a biomarker of increased risk of sequelae secondary to infection with C. trachomatis...
Microbial correlates of delayed care for pelvic inflammatory diseaseBrandie D Taylor
Department of Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA
Sex Transm Dis 38:434-8. 2011..We studied the microbial correlates of time to care and long-term outcomes among pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) patients, as delayed care may increase the risk for reproductive sequelae...
Mycoplasma genitalium: an emerging cause of pelvic inflammatory diseaseCatherine L Haggerty
Department of Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USA
Infect Dis Obstet Gynecol 2011:959816. 2011..Collectively, strong evidence suggests that M. genitalium is associated with PID. Further study of M. genitalium upper genital tract infection diagnosis, treatment and long-term sequelae is warranted...

J Infect Dis 207:940-6. 2013..Racial disparities exist in gynecological diseases. Variations in Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes may alter signaling following microbial recognition...
Risk of sequelae after Chlamydia trachomatis genital infection in womenCatherine L Haggerty
Department of Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USA
J Infect Dis 201:S134-55. 2010..trachomatis infection; better tools to measure PID and tubal damage; and studies on the natural history of repeated chlamydial infections are needed...
Management of Chlamydia trachomatis genital tract infection: screening and treatment challengesBrandie D Taylor
University of Pittsburgh, Department of Epidemiology, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Infect Drug Resist 4:19-29. 2011..Studies should focus on delineating the natural history of recurrent infections, paying particular attention to treatment failures. Furthermore, alternatives to screening, such as vaccines, should continue to be explored...
