Abstract
C. trachomatis is an important etiological agent in acute salpingitis in women. C. trachomatis is the probable etiological agent in 2/3 of 143 women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). High levels of chlamydial antibody [Ab] were found in sera and fluids aspirated from the pouch of Douglas and such Ab titers correlated with the severity of clinically graded tubal inflammation.Keywords
