A serological study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of antibody to Chlamydia trachomatis in women and to investigate any possible role of the organism in infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease. Thirty-seven per cent of pregnant women were found to have antibodies to Chl. trachomatis, as were 69% of women with pelvic inflammatory disease. Eighty-five per cent of women who were infertile due to inflammatory tubal damage and 78% who were infertile secondary to ectopic pregnancy had antibody as compared with 56% of women who were infertile for other reasons. Sperm bank donors and children showed low prevalences (16% and 3%, respectively). Exposure to Chl. trachomatis is widespread in sexually active women and appears to have a role in pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility that is due to inflammatory tubal disease.
开展了一项血清学研究，以确定女性沙眼衣原体抗体的流行情况，并调查该病原体在不孕症和盆腔炎中可能发挥的作用。发现37%的孕妇有沙眼衣原体抗体，盆腔炎女性中有69%也有该抗体。因炎性输卵管损伤导致不孕的女性中，85%有抗体；继发于异位妊娠而不孕的女性中，78%有抗体；相比之下，因其他原因不孕的女性中，这一比例为56%。精子库捐献者和儿童的流行率较低（分别为16%和3%）。沙眼衣原体感染在性活跃女性中广泛存在，似乎在盆腔炎和因炎性输卵管疾病导致的不孕症中起作用。
