RÉSUMÉ

Ninety-eight women attending three different clinics were prospectively studied for the presence of genital tract infections, including Chlamydia trachomatis. Of these 98 women, 35 were presenting to a polyclinic with symptoms of genital tract infection, 55 were attending an antenatal clinic for their first visit, and 8 referred to a colposcopy clinic because of an abnormal Papanicolaou smear were included. Gonorrhoea was detected in one patient, syphilis in two, and Trichomonas vaginalis in six. Candida albicans and Chlamydia trachomatis were each detected in 18 patients, while the most common condition was bacterial vaginosis, detected in 35 patients. The prevalence of these infections was lowest in patients referred for colposcopy and highest in the women attending the antenatal clinic, Chlamydia trachomatis was the most common sexually-transmitted pathogen detected in this population. These data emphasise the need for an aggressive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of chlamydial infection in females
