Prevalence of Antichlamydia Antibody Status in Infertile Patients

Background The goal of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of antichlamydia antibody in different subgroups of infertile women. MaterialsAndMethods The study was performed on 300 women admitted to a university-based clinic.The antichlamydia antibody was assayed via ELISA method. Results Positive titer was reported in 32.3 percent of the population under study. Statistically significant differences between positive and negative titres were noted in groups with tubal infertility (p; 0.006) patients with history of PID (p: 0.003) and vaginitis (P: 0.001) and patients with tubal pathology reported on hysterosalpingography (P: 0.027). Conclusion According to the results of the study, it seems that there is a strong correlation between Chlamydia trachomatis infection and tubal infertility in Iranian infertile patients.
