Abstract:
The possible role of C. trachomatis as a causative agent of abortion in humans was investigated using the tissue culture method for the isolation of chlamydia. Two cases of spontaneous abortion and another seven of recurrent abortion due to C. trachomatis were positively identified. Among those with recurrent abortion were four patients with history of second trimester abortion.
