Interrelationship of chlamydia subgroup A and other pathogens in the female genital tract

ABSTRACT

Cervical swabs for the isolation of Chlamyda subgroup A and other pathogens were collected from 209 women at random. Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis was detected in 9.6% of women examined. There was a highly significant association between isolation of Chlamydia and the presence of cervical mucopus and ectopy. However, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomnonas vaginal and E. coli did not correlate significantly with chlamydial infection
