  • Title: Chlamydial infection in asymptomatic infertile women.
    Author: Rachagan SP, Ngeow YF.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 1990 Dec; 45(4):298-303. PubMed ID: 2152050.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-six asymptomatic infertile women undergoing laparoscopic examination as part of their infertility investigations, were included in this study on chlamydial infection. Patients were tested for chlamydial antigen in the cervix and peritoneal fluid. The serum of twenty-five of these patients was titrated for evidence of chlamydial antibodies. Fifty women attending a family planning clinic were used as a control group. The study showed a strong relationship between chlamydial infection and infertility due to tubal pathology. The incidence of chlamydial infection in asymptomatic infertile women was 33.3%. The results indicate that Chlamydia trachomatis should be sought in patients presenting with infertility and, if detected, appropriate medical treatment be given.
