Abstract

The incidence of urogenital chlamydia infections among selected patients in Kumasi, Ghana was evaluated using an immunofluorescent monoclonal antibody technique. Chlamydia trachomatis was identified in 4 of 110 patients presenting for prenatal care, 2 of 55 female patients with infertility and 6 of 15 males with acute urethritis. The findings demonstrate that C. trachomatis is a frequently identified pathogen among male patients presenting with symptoms of acute urethritis; however, the incidence of chlamydia infections among asymptomatic patients is relatively low.

摘要

采用免疫荧光单克隆抗体技术对加纳库马西部分选定患者的泌尿生殖系统衣原体感染发病率进行了评估。在110名前来进行产前检查的患者中，有4人检测出沙眼衣原体；在55名患有不孕症的女性患者中，有2人检测出沙眼衣原体；在15名患有急性尿道炎的男性患者中，有6人检测出沙眼衣原体。研究结果表明，沙眼衣原体是患有急性尿道炎症状男性患者中经常发现的病原体；然而，无症状患者中衣原体感染的发病率相对较低。
