The prevalence of type-specific antichlamydial antibody in a population of blood donors in London was studied using a microimmunofluorescence test. Twenty-six (17%) of 150 women and 38 (26%) of 150 men had antichlamydial antibody (IgG at greater than or equal to 1/16 or IgM greater than or equal to 1/8 or both). Of these, five (3%) women had one (0.75%) man had this antibody directed against Chlamydia trachomatis serotypes D-K, responsible for genital infections, and one man had antibody to Chlamydia psittaci agents. The remaining 57 men and women had antibody against an atypical chlamydial isolate designated Chlamydia IOL-207, which is iodine-negative and serologically distinct from both C trachomatis and C psittaci. The nature and location of infection by this agent are obscure. The results of this study suggest that the prevalence of sexually transmitted infection with C trachomatis serotypes D-K in a normal adult population in London is very low.
采用微量免疫荧光试验研究了伦敦献血人群中特定类型抗衣原体抗体的流行情况。150名女性中有26名（17%）、150名男性中有38名（26%）有抗衣原体抗体（IgG大于或等于1/16或IgM大于或等于1/8或两者皆有）。其中，5名（3%）女性和1名（0.75%）男性有针对沙眼衣原体D-K血清型的抗体，该血清型可引起生殖器感染，还有1名男性有针对鹦鹉热衣原体病原体的抗体。其余57名男性和女性有针对一种非典型衣原体分离株（命名为衣原体IOL-207）的抗体，该分离株碘染色阴性，血清学上与沙眼衣原体和鹦鹉热衣原体均不同。该病原体感染的性质和部位尚不清楚。本研究结果表明，伦敦正常成年人群中由沙眼衣原体D-K血清型引起的性传播感染患病率非常低。
