Genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection affects 33% of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) patients. Low socioeconomic status, multiple partners, and IUD use are risk factors, while contraception and age are protective.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a significant gynecologic infection.
  • Chlamydia trachomatis is a common cause of PID.
  • Understanding associated risk factors is crucial for prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection in PID patients.
  • To identify epidemiologic factors associated with C. trachomatis infection in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted on 273 PID patients at a Government Medical College in Nagpur.
  • Chlamydial antigen was detected using the Pharmacia Diagnostics Chlamydia EIA test.

  • An overall positivity rate of 33% for C. trachomatis infection was observed in PID patients.
  • Significant risk factors included low socioeconomic status, multiple sexual partners, and intrauterine device (IUD) use.
  • Oral contraceptives, barrier contraceptives, and increasing age showed protective effects.

Conclusions:

  • C. trachomatis significantly contributes to the etiology of PID.
  • Epidemiologic measures are recommended for the prevention of C. trachomatis infections due to identified risk factors.
