ABSTRACT
Endocervical chlamydia trachomatis was found in 4 of 80 women [5 per cent] attending the gynecology and Antenatal Clinic of Al-Zahraa University Hospital with clinical signs of mucopurlent cervicitis. A significant association was clearly demonstrated between infection and young age [P = 0.006], contact with partner with urethritis [P = 0.036]. No such association was demonstrated between infection and other historical correlates as years of intercourse and gravidity. Also a significant association was demonstrated between infection and cervical ectopy [P = 0.015], however, no such association was demonstrated for other cervical examination correlates as erythema, friability, discharge, colour and character and number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Finally a significant association was evident between chlamydial infection and the use of oral contraceptive versus the use of intrauterine contraceptive devices "I.U.Ds." [- = 0.026], but not between the use of I.U.Ds. and others [P = 0.533]
