A "Symptoms of reinfection may include yellow vaginal discharge."
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The client's statement that symptoms of reinfection may include yellow vaginal discharge is incorrect. Chlamydia itself can cause symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, but yellow discharge is not typically associated with reinfection. Yellow discharge could be indicative of other infections, and the client should be informed to seek medical attention if there are changes in discharge color, odor, or consistency.
