Abstract
C. trachomatis was isolated from urethral swabs after prostatic massage in patients with abacterial prostatitis. After exclusion of prostatic infections by gram-negative bacteria, enterococci and ureaplasmas, in 20 of 43 patients with apparent monoinfection by C. trachomatis, a leukocytal reaction was demonstrated in prostatic secretions. By microimmunofluorescence test, antibody titers .gtoreq. 1:8 against various types of C. trachomatis were detected in these patients; serology was negative in chlamydia-positive patients without increased leukocyte counts (prostatodynia).
