- 1披衣菌（台灣常這樣叫；中國大陸較常說衣原體）
Chlamydia is a disease that can pass from one person to another during sex. The cause is a tiny — a kind of bacteria, not a virus. Many people feel completely well, so they never guess they have it. That is why doctors talk about tests even when nothing hurts: you can have it, pass it on, and still feel fine. Medicine from a clinic can usually clear it. If nobody treats it, it can later damage the parts of the body that make a baby, and pregnancy can become harder. It is not HIV, not syphilis, and not gonorrhoea (淋病), and it is not 菜花, which is warts from a different virus. A person can have more than one infection at the same time. This is a medical word; in casual talk some people just say an STI, which is a bigger umbrella. There is nothing shameful in the name itself — it is a health fact. Though actually, doctors also use the same name for a small family of related that can infect the eyes or the chest; that is not what most people mean when they whisper the word.
組成From New Latin chlamydia, from Ancient Greek khlamúdion, “small cloak”, from khlamús, “cloak”.
