Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) is a common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease in female population. This infection can be diagnosed both by culture and serology. The present study evaluated the seroprevalence of chlamydial infection in patients with pelvic inflammatory disease (ND) and infertility and in control population of healthy normal females. The seroprevalence was found to be 82.7% in patients and 32% in controls by Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) for any one or more class of antichlamydial antibodies (IgG/IgM/ IgA). The study demonstrates the importance of serology to monitor trends of chlamydial infections in women with PID and infertility.
沙眼衣原体（C. trachomatis）是女性盆腔炎的常见病因。这种感染可通过培养和血清学方法进行诊断。本研究评估了盆腔炎（PID）患者、不孕症患者以及健康正常女性对照人群中衣原体感染的血清流行率。通过酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）检测任何一类或多类抗衣原体抗体（IgG/IgM/IgA），发现患者的血清流行率为82.7%，对照组为32%。该研究证明了血清学对于监测PID和不孕症女性衣原体感染趋势的重要性。
