Active Chlamydia trachomatis infection correlated to spontaneous abortion.
2003 FEB 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Couples infected with Chlamydia trachomatis stand a higher risk for early pregnancy lost.
According to a study from Chile, "the incidence of Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection and the possible correlation between couples presenting with first-trimester spontaneous abortions and active Ct infection was assessed. Additionally, the ability of Ct to infect zona-free hamster oocytes was explored by incubating the oocytes with spermatozoa from infected patients. A total of 961 women and 750 men consulting our reproductive medicine centre were screened for Ct using direct immunofluorescence."
"The general incidence of Ct infection was 9.4% in females ( 90 of 961) and 13.9% in males ( 104 of 750). In women with spontaneous abortions the incidence of Ct was 21.0% ( 14 of 66) compared with 8.9% ( 23 of 59) for women without spontaneous abortions and term pregnancies (Chi-square, p
"When both partners of the couples were considered (one or both partners infected), the incidence rose to 68.8% (22 of 32) (Chi-square, p
"In vitro studies using electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of Ct on the surface of and inside the oocyte. These results indicate a correlation between an active Ct infection and ...
