Here we report that serum specimens obtained from patients with chlamydiosis contain elementary bodies of<jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic>shown by culture and immunogold electron microscopy. We have found that 31 of the 52 patients had serum precipitates which were infective to McCoy cells. Immunostaining revealed very small inclusions resembling those reported during persistent<jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic>infection<jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>. DNA specimens from 49 (out of 52) patients with chlamydiosis gave positive PCR readings. The viability of the pathogen present in the sera was confirmed by chlamydial RNA detection in the cell monolayer inoculated by the serum precipitates. By using DNA isolation protocol from 1\u2009mL of serum and quantitative TaqMan PCR, it was estimated that bacterial load in patients\u2019 sera was<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mrow><mml:mn>2<\/mml:mn><mml:mo>\u00d7<\/mml:mo><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mn>10<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><mml:mn>2<\/mml:mn><\/mml:msup><mml:mtext>\u2013<\/mml:mtext><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mn>10<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><mml:mn>3<\/mml:mn><\/mml:msup><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>\u2009GE\/mL. These findings for the first time demonstrated that<jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic>can be disseminated directly by the plasma, independently from blood cell, which may represent a new possible pathway of the chronic infection development. Therefore, new methodological approaches for detection of<jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic>in the serum of patients with complicated and chronic chlamydiosis could be important in the diagnosis of the infection regardless of its anatomical
