One thousand eight non-pregnant women aged 16-34 years, presenting for the first time at a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases (STD), were examined and screened for infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Candida species. The respective prevalence rates were 21.1%, 20.7%, 13.4%, and 27.8%. Isolation rates for C trachomatis, either occurring alone or in association with other genital infections, were significantly greater in women using oral contraceptive agents. This was not because oral contraceptive users were more promiscuous. The findings strengthen the case for providing a routine chlamydial culture service for women attending STD clinics. They also indicate that the likelihood of chlamydial infection in women taking oral contraceptives is increased.
1800名年龄在16至34岁之间、首次前往性传播疾病（STD）诊所就诊的非妊娠女性接受了检查，并对沙眼衣原体、淋病奈瑟菌、阴道毛滴虫和念珠菌属感染进行了筛查。各自的患病率分别为21.1%、20.7%、13.4%和27.8%。使用口服避孕药的女性中，沙眼衣原体单独感染或与其他生殖器感染合并感染的分离率显著更高。这并不是因为口服避孕药使用者更滥交。这些发现进一步证明了为前往STD诊所就诊的女性提供常规衣原体培养服务的必要性。它们还表明，服用口服避孕药的女性感染衣原体的可能性增加。
