Abstract
In New South Wales, Chlamydia trachomatis infection was gazetted as a notifiable disease in 1998. Subsequently the number of laboratory notifications has more than doubled between 1999 and 2002, with 5,542 cases reported in 2002. This article describes the findings of an enhanced surveillance program based on the follow-up of notifications received by a Sydney metropolitan public health unit.https://doi.org/10.1071/NB04009
