A group of 536 women attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases was investigated for cervical infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. Conclusions have been reached concerning the existence and significance of latent and subclinical chlamydial infection of the female genital tract, and on the sexual infectivity of Chlamydia trachomatis to women. The results of the study indicate (1) demonstrable chlamydial infection in 25% of all women attending the clinic for the first time, and in 11% of those with unknown contact history; (2) sexual transmission of Chlamydia trachomatis; 45% of women exposed to chlamydiae contract the infection compared with 75% of those exposed to Neisseria gonorrhoeae; (3) the possibility of reactivation of latent chlamydial infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae in some women.
对536名前往性传播疾病诊所就诊的女性进行了淋病奈瑟菌和沙眼衣原体宫颈感染调查。已就女性生殖道潜伏和亚临床衣原体感染的存在及意义以及沙眼衣原体对女性的性传染性得出结论。研究结果表明：（1）首次到该诊所就诊的所有女性中，25%存在可检测到的衣原体感染，接触史不明的女性中这一比例为11%；（2）沙眼衣原体的性传播；接触衣原体的女性中有45%感染，而接触淋病奈瑟菌的女性中有75%感染；（3）某些女性中淋病奈瑟菌可能使潜伏的衣原体感染重新激活。
