Endocervical samples were taken for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis from 500 consecutive patients attending a family planning clinic. The Microtrak direct specimen immunofluorescence test was used. Swabs from 79 patients (15.8%) were positive for chlamydia. Seventy-one (95%) of these patients were symptom free, and 39.8% were under 20 years old. Twenty-one patients were pregnant, seven (33%) had chlamydia. Those positive for chlamydia had twice the frequency of abnormal smears and other sexually transmitted infections as those who were negative. Contraceptive use was similar except that intrauterine devices were used less frequently by patients with chlamydia infection. This report indicates the frequent occurrence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in New Zealand and that newly developed methods of diagnosis enable us to identify and treat those with this infection. Characteristically these patients are under 20, have multiple partners and a high incidence of abnormal smears and other sexually transmitted infections.
从一家计划生育诊所连续就诊的500名患者中采集宫颈管内样本，用于检测沙眼衣原体。采用Microtrak直接标本免疫荧光试验。79名患者（15.8%）的拭子沙眼衣原体检测呈阳性。其中71名（95%）患者无症状，39.8%的患者年龄在20岁以下。21名患者怀孕，7名（33%）感染了衣原体。衣原体检测呈阳性的患者涂片异常及其他性传播感染的发生率是阴性患者的两倍。除衣原体感染患者较少使用宫内节育器外，避孕方法的使用情况相似。本报告表明，沙眼衣原体感染在新西兰频繁发生，新开发的诊断方法使我们能够识别和治疗感染该病原体的患者。这些患者的特点是年龄在20岁以下，有多个性伴侣，涂片异常及其他性传播感染的发生率较高。
