ABSTRACT
50 sera each from women with infertility, bad obstetric history and healthy pregnant women were tested for the presence of antichlamydial IgG antibodies. Antichlamydial IgG antibodies were present in 68% of women with infertility, 50% of women with bad obstetric history and 10% in healthy pregnant women. As culture methods are cumbersome so diagnosis can be made by serological tests, which are sensitive, specific and non invasive. Chlamydia trachohmatis is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease and most infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis being asymptomatic, result in a large reservoir of unrecognized, infected individuals capable of transmitting the infection to sexual partners. Chlamydia trachomatis if detected earlier and given proper treatment, can minimize the complications in these patients.
