ABSTRACT
The prevalence of significant [1/16] Chlamydia trachomatis [CT] antibodies through handling microimmunoflourescent technique has been found to be 12% in normal fertile nonpregnant women, 24% in normal pregnant women, and 48% in cases of first trimester spontaneous abortion. About 55% of abortion serologically positive cases had history of OCS use and 31% had history of IUD use. We concluded that significant increase in prevalence of CT antibodies in aborters indicates that CT infection plays a role in the etiology of this process
