Investigations for Chlamydia infections of the genital tract were performed in 270 Viennese registered, as well as in 51 non-registered prostitutes. The results were compared with findings obtained in 56 female patients attending an out-patient STD clinic and 48 pregnant women seeking antenatal care in a department of obstetrics. Diagnosis of Chlamydia infection was the organisms on cultured McCoy cells after treatment with cycloheximide. The highest infection rate (31%) was found in non-licensed prostitutes. In registered prostitutes, 20.4% of the cervical smears proved to be positive for Chlamydia. The control groups showed lower infection rates of 9% and 4%, respectively. These results indicate that women who frequently change their sexual partners are considerably more at risk of contracting Chlamydia infections. Hence, this group of persons should be more regularly investigated and--if necessary--given appropriate treatment in order to prevent further spread of the disease.
对270名维也纳注册妓女以及51名非注册妓女进行了生殖道衣原体感染调查。将结果与56名在门诊性传播疾病诊所就诊的女性患者以及48名在产科寻求产前护理的孕妇的检查结果进行了比较。衣原体感染的诊断是在用放线菌酮处理后的 McCoy 细胞上培养出病原体。在无执照妓女中发现了最高感染率（31%）。在注册妓女中，20.4%的宫颈涂片衣原体检测呈阳性。对照组的感染率分别较低，为9%和4%。这些结果表明，频繁更换性伴侣的女性感染衣原体的风险要高得多。因此，应该对这一人群进行更定期的检查，并在必要时给予适当治疗，以防止疾病的进一步传播。
