background and objectives: the obligate intracellular bacterium chlamydia trachomatis causes sexually transmissible diseases in human. timely and sensitive detection of this pathogen is very important. there are many cross-reactions in bacteriological and serological methods in detection of this type of pathogens. the aim of this study was to achieve a more specific antigen for serological test...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have found high prevalences of asymptomatic rectal chlamydia among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM). Chlamydia could increase the infectivity of HIV and the susceptibility to HIV infection. We investigate the role of chlamydia in the spread of HIV among MSM and the possible impact of routine chlamydia screening among HIV-infected MSM at HIV treatment centre...
