متن کاملChlamydial infection in asymptomatic infertile women.
Thirty-six asymptomatic infertile women undergoing laparoscopic examination as part of their infertility investigations, were included in this study on chlamydial infection. Patients were tested for chlamydial antigen in the cervix and peritoneal fluid. The serum of twenty-five of these patients was titrated for evidence of chlamydial antibodies. Fifty women attending a family planning clinic w...
متن کاملIdentification of MHCII variants associated with chlamydial disease in the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus)
Chlamydiosis, the most common infectious disease in koalas, can cause chronic urogenital tract fibrosis and infertility. High titres of serum immunoglobulin G against 10 kDa and 60 kDa chlamydial heat-shock proteins (c-hsp10 and c-hsp60) are associated with fibrous occlusion of the koala uterus and uterine tube. Murine and human studies have identified associations between specific major histoc...
متن کاملAntibodies to the chlamydial 60 kilodalton heat shock protein in women with tubal factor infertility.
INTRODUCTION Fallopian tube damage and subsequent infertility are common sequelae of upper genital tract infection with Chlamydia trachomatis. This fallopian tube damage is thought to be immune mediated. The 60 kilodalton chlamydial heat shock protein (hsp) may be the key antigen associated with this pathogenic response. Our objective was to study the relationship between antibody response to 6...
متن کاملEstimation of the risk of tubal factor infertility associated with genital chlamydial infection in women: a statistical modelling study.
OBJECTIVES Using a statistical modelling approach, our study aim is to determine reliable age-related estimates of the risk of all-cause tubal factor infertility (TFI) following past or current chlamydial infection in women in Scotland. METHOD Using data from several sources, a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo model was used to estimate the age-related risk of TFI given genital chlamydia infection at...
