Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from 120 of 504 women (24%) attending a VD clinic at Auckland Hospital. Epidemiological correlates indicated a sexual mode of transmission. The only symptom of significance was lower abdominal pain. Cervicitis was more common in women with chlamydia, especially if they were on hormonal contraceptives. Chlamydia was isolated more commonly in women with gonorrhoea (52%) and genital warts (37%). The high incidence of asymptomatic and unsuspected infection emphasizes the need for routine chlamydial culture in VD clinics.
从奥克兰医院性病门诊就诊的504名女性中的120人(24%)分离出沙眼衣原体。流行病学关联表明其传播方式为性传播。唯一有意义的症状是下腹部疼痛。宫颈炎在衣原体感染女性中更为常见,尤其是在服用激素避孕药的女性中。衣原体在淋病女性(52%)和尖锐湿疣女性(37%)中分离率更高。无症状和未被怀疑感染的高发生率强调了在性病门诊进行常规衣原体培养的必要性。
