Repeated C. trachomatis infections are common among young sexually active women. The relative frequency of re-infection and antibiotic treatment failure is undefined. Adolescent women enrolled in a longitudinal cohort had behavioral and sexually transmitted infection assessment every 3 months, including amplification tests for C. trachomatis, ompA genotyping and interviews and diary entries to document partner-specific coitus and event-specific condom use. Repeated infections were classified as re-infection or treatment failure using an algorithm. All infections with treatment outcomes were used to estimate antibiotic use-effectiveness. We observed 478 infection episodes among 210 participants; 176 women remained uninfected. Incidence rate was 34 per 100-woman years. Of those infected, 121 had ≥1 repeat infections forming 268 episode pairs; 183 pairs had complete data and were classified with the algorithm. Of repeated infections, 84.2% were definite, probable or possible re-infections, 13.7% were probable or possible treatment failures and 2.2% persisted without documented treatment. For 318 evaluable infections, we estimated a 92.2% treatment use-effectiveness. Most repeat chlamydial infections in this high incidence cohort were re-infections, but treatment failures occurred as well. Our results have implications for male screening and partner notification programs and suggest the need for improved antibiotic therapies.
