Chlamydia cases on the rise in Grey-Bruce - Owen Sound Sun Times - Ontario, CA
"Cases of chlamydia in Grey- Bruce jumped 70% from 2006 to 2008, a trend local health unit officials expect will continue this year.
Last year, 234 people tested positive for the sexually transmitted bacterial infection. By the midway point of this year, 142 cases were confirmed.
The six-month total exceeds the 2006 count and is 25% higher than the number of positive results from the same period in 2008.
Denna Leach, a sexual health program manager at the Grey Bruce Health Unit, said the reason for the spike in local chlamydia cases is unclear. More people may be infected, or more people may be getting tested."
