Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis is said to play an important role in the pathogenesis of gynecologic, perinatal and neonatal infectious morbidity. Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for several infectious syndromes in non-pregnant women, mothers and their offspring. We investigated the incidence of Chlamydia trachomatis in 353 non-pregnant and pregnant women without complaints and in 50 newborn. Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from 6% of genital carcinoma, about 20% of different gynecological diseases and pregnant women within the first and third trimenon, 35% of puerperas and 10% of newborns. The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis antibody occurred in 34 to 55% of the non-pregnant and pregnant women and in 38% of the newborns. We propose a screening for Chlamydia trachomatis infection in high-risk patients and in pregnancy and a treatment of infected individuals.
