Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis infection of the urogenital tract of women presumed to be non-promiscuous, and in presumably promiscuous women attending a Special Clinic in Manchester was studied. Two hundred female members of hospital staff, who formed the non-promiscuous group, had a 1% incidence of chlamydial infection. This compared with an incidence of 26% among 200 women attending the clinic. Among the clinic patients, chlamydial infection was significantly linked with the presence of gonorrhea, mixed infections and other sexually transmissible diseases such as trichomoniasis. No correlation could be made between the incidence of chlamydial infection and the use of oral contraceptives.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
