One hundred eighty-five women college students were examined for genital infection with Chlamydia trachomatis. This organism was isolated from nine (5%) of the 185 women. Antibody was demonstrated in the genital secretions of 26 (14%) and in the serum of 70 (38%) of the women. None of the sexually inexperienced women was infected. Among those sexually experienced, the prevalence of isolation of C. trachomatis and of detection of local antibodies in cervical secretions and serum antibodies to C. trachomatis increased in relation to the number of life-time sexual partners. Local antibody appeared to be a more reliable indicator of infection with C. trachomatis than serum antibody in this college population.
对185名女大学生进行了沙眼衣原体生殖道感染检查。在这185名女性中，有9名（5%）分离出了该病原体。在26名（14%）女性的生殖道分泌物以及70名（38%）女性的血清中检测到了抗体。所有无性经验的女性均未被感染。在有性经验的女性中，沙眼衣原体的分离率以及宫颈分泌物中局部抗体和沙眼衣原体血清抗体的检出率均随着性伴侣数量的增加而升高。在这一大学生群体中，局部抗体似乎比血清抗体更能可靠地指示沙眼衣原体感染。
