We examined the number of Chlamydia trachomatis inclusions produced in the initial passage of cell cultures of endocervical specimens from 1,231 women with positive chlamydial cultures who attended a sexually transmitted diseases clinic. Youth, white race, oral contraceptive use, and concurrent infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae were associated with high chlamydial inclusion counts. Youth, white race, and oral contraceptive use were independent determinants of a high chlamydial inclusion count in women without concurrent gonorrhea but not in women with gonorrhea. Results of our study suggest that the degree of chlamydial excretion from the infected cervix may be influenced by characteristics of the patient being tested and may affect the ability to detect C. trachomatis in different patient groups.
我们检查了来自一家性传播疾病诊所的1231名衣原体培养呈阳性的女性宫颈标本细胞培养初次传代时产生的沙眼衣原体包涵体数量。年轻、白种人、使用口服避孕药以及同时感染淋病奈瑟菌与衣原体包涵体计数高有关。年轻、白种人以及使用口服避孕药是未同时感染淋病的女性衣原体包涵体计数高的独立决定因素，但在同时感染淋病的女性中并非如此。我们的研究结果表明，感染宫颈的衣原体排泄程度可能受受检患者特征的影响，并可能影响在不同患者群体中检测沙眼衣原体的能力。
