Screening programmes aim at reducing morbidity in individual by early detect and treatment, and at decreasing the overall prevalence of infection in the population. Materials and Methods: A total of 135 women presenting with a history of infertility(n=113(83.7%) primary infertility, n=22(16.3%) secondary infertility) between 20-40 years of age were consecutively induced into this descriptive-analytic study. Specimens were taken from endocervical canal. C.Trachomatis were detected with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The data collected in check list and analyzed statically using spss (ver.16). Results: C.Trachomatis was detected in 16(19.3%) of 135 asymptomatic infertile women. The over age of patients was 31.50 ± 5.62 near and the most common age range was 35-40 years. 91.9% of patients were housewives and average duration of marriage was 6.33 ± 4.55 near. 35 patients expressed a positive family history of infertility. 9women(18%) had adhesion in hysterosalpingography. There was no statistically difference between PCR positive results to age of patients, type of infertility, obstructed salpingography, family history and duration of infertility. Conclusion: Genital C.trachomatis is the leading cause of tubal factor infertility. The present study shows that C.trachomatis infection could be present in 19.3% of asymptomatic infertile women. Therefore a screening test for C.trachomatis infection is recommended for all women who refer to infertility outpatient departments in Rasht and perhaps other parts of Iran.
