[Chlamydia trachomatis infections of the cervix and postoperative course]

In the paper authors consider the problem if Chlamydia trachomatis infection of urogenital tract exerts an influence on postoperative course in women who were operated in the gynaecology department. 186 women have been examined in this study. Using the criteria for selective screening for Chlamydia trachomatis infection proposed by Handsfield, 29 women with higher risk for chlamydial infection were seperated. The personal details have been obtained by standardized questionnaire. Using the immunoenzymatic test "Chlamydiazyme" the incidence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection of the cervical canal was studied in 29 women from groups of higher risk for this infection. No Chlamydia trachomatis antigens were found in this group. These results don't answer the question if Chlamydia trachomatis infection of urogenital tract exerts an influence on postoperative course in women who were operated in gynaecology department, because it is to small trial.
