Background. Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) can lead to reproductive sequelae. Information on the general population of childbearing age women in India is sparse. We reviewed the literature on CT prevalence within the general population of reproductive aged women in order to improve the efforts of public health screening programs and interventions. Objective. To conduct a literature r...

Chlamydia phage PhiCPG1 has been found in Chlamydia caviae in a guinea pig model for inclusion conjunctivitis, raising the possibility that Chlamydia phage is also present in patients infected with C. trachomatis (Ct). In the present study, we assayed for presence of Chlamydia phage capsid protein VP1 genes and antibodies in 84 non-Ct controls and 206 Ct patients using an enzyme-linked immunoas...

BACKGROUND It is widely known that infection by Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is the most common curable sexually transmitted infection (STI) among the young population.Chlamydial cervicitis has been suspected in the past to be a risk factor for squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (SIL) and cervical cancer on the basis of case-control comparisons of serological tests. METHODS A total of 110 women...

We evaluated the analytical, work flow, and clinical performance of the Versant CT/GC DNA 1.0 assay (Versant CT/GC assay, where "CT" represents Chlamydia trachomatis and "GC" represents Neisseria gonorrhoeae). The assay simultaneously detects Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in swab and first-catch urine (FCU) specimens. The limit of detection (LoD) was determined to be 342 copie...

background and objectives: the obligate intracellular bacterium chlamydia trachomatis causes sexually transmissible diseases in human. timely and sensitive detection of this pathogen is very important. there are many cross-reactions in bacteriological and serological methods in detection of this type of pathogens. the aim of this study was to achieve a more specific antigen for serological test...

females abortion is one of the most important sequela of genital infection with chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum.in this study frequency of chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum was studied in 125 females with habitual abortion by direct and indirect immunofluorescence tests and culture method and compared with 250 normal popula...

introduction: chlamydia trachomatis infection is a common pathogen in sexual transmitted disease, but most of female patients with this infection are asymptomatic. sequealae include pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility and ectopic pregnancy. the aim of the study was to determine the association between chlamydia trachomatis and tubal factor infertility, if significant. methods: this prospec...

infertility in famale is one of the most important sequela of genital infection with chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum. in the present study the frequency of these bacteries was studied in 125 infertile female by direct and indirect immunofluorscence tests and culture method and compared with 250 normal population. mycoplasma hominis was isolated from 32 (35.6...
