Chlamydial infection. Light micrograph of a cervical smear showing infection with the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia infective (or inclusion) bodies (spherical,large pink and small dark pink,at upper right) are seen inside the epithelial cells of the vagina (light pink and light blue). Chlamydia survive by infecting host cells and forming inclusion bodies,where they reproduce. New bacteria are released by rupturing the host cell. Chlamydia causes non-specific urethritis (NSU),a sexually transmitted disease. The organisms can multiply rapidly in a woman's reproductive tract. Papanicolaou stain.
