Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chlamydia infection in a pregnant woman can be transmitted to the newborn during delivery, leading to neonatal conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. Other possible complications of chlamydia in newborns include pneumonia and otitis media. Meningitis and aortic valve deformity are not common complications of chlamydia in newborns. Hearing disorders may be a possible complication of congenital syphilis, but are not typically associated with chlamydia.
