Chlamydia: number of cases per 100 000 population, EU/EEA, 2010 The trend of Chlamydia infections is increasing in many countries, though divergent trends exist. In 2009, 345.000 cases were reported by 23 countries, an overall rate of 185 per 100 000 population. Of those cases, 60% is reported by the United Kingdom. The overall trend is affected by the completeness of reporting and the overall coverage across Europe; if we analyse the data for the eight countries that have reported consistently in 2000-08, then the trend looks as shown on the slide, with an overall rate of 337 / 100.000 population (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Sweden, United Kingdom). The sharp increase in 2008 is due to UK that has introduce a new surveillance system that captures data from outside the STI services as well. The interpretation of the trend is difficult as it is the result of diverging trends in different countries and is highly influenced by changes in testing practices and surveillance systems. However, the trend shows a consistent higher rate in women than in men.
