For identification of those variables in the history and in the clinical and routine laboratory examination that are most likely to indicate infection of the uterine cervix with Chlamydia trachomatis, 284 women attending a venereal disease clinic were studied, were studied, of whom 58 (20.4%) yielded the organism from the cervix. Women with chlamydial cervical infection showed no distinctive symptoms. Although associations were found between the presence of C. trachomatis and cervical discontinuity, purulent cervical exudate, and inflammatory changes in cervical cytology, these signs were not pathognomonic of chlamydial infection since they were also seen in some women infected with other microorganisms. There was a significant relationship between the presence of antibodies, detected by immunofluorescence, and the recovery of C. trachomatis in cell culture. There were no associations between ethnic group, history of sexually transmitted disease, method of contraception, phase in the menstrual cycle, or numbers of sexual contacts and infection with C. trachomatis.
为了确定病史、临床及常规实验室检查中哪些变量最有可能提示沙眼衣原体宫颈感染，我们对284名到性病门诊就诊的女性进行了研究，其中58名（20.4%）宫颈检出该病原体。沙眼衣原体宫颈感染的女性无明显症状。虽然发现沙眼衣原体的存在与宫颈连续性中断、脓性宫颈分泌物及宫颈细胞学炎症改变之间有关联，但这些体征并非衣原体感染的特征性表现，因为在一些感染其他微生物的女性中也可见到。通过免疫荧光检测到的抗体存在与细胞培养中沙眼衣原体的检出之间存在显著关联。种族、性传播疾病史、避孕方法、月经周期阶段或性接触次数与沙眼衣原体感染之间无关联。
