Statistics released in January by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that the total number of Chlamydia diagnoses in 2007 is the largest number of cases ever reported to the CDC for any condition. Chlamydia, the most commonly reported disease in the country, saw a total of 1,108,374 cases in 2007. That number was up 7.5% from the 2006 total. Young and minority women were the most affected by the Chlamydia rise. The highest rate was seen in black females ages 15 to 19, which was 9,646.7 cases per 100,000 in population.
