ABSTRACT
This study included 30 women with tubal infertility and 14 women with other causes of infertility documented by laparoscopy. The presence of C. trachomatis DNA in first void urine was determined using PCR assay and the presence of C. trachomatis-specific IgG in serum samples was also investigated using microimmunofluorescence [MIF] technique. C. trachomatis-specific IgG was present in 14 of 30 women with tubal infertility compared with seven of 14 with other causes of infertility. In conclusion, there was a strong association between the presence of C. trachomatis DNA and the development of chlamydial- associated infertility
