[Epidemiological studies of patients with genital chlamydiosis in Pleven District]

The authors aimed at conducting an epidemiological analysis of genital chlamydial infection among married couples with infertility problems, women with pelvic inflammatory disease and among patients with promiscuity and clinical symptoms of genital infection in the region of Pleven. They performed a prospective study for a six month period of time. 36 married couples with infertility problems and 66 patients with promiscuity were included in the study. The authors conclude that genital chlamydiosis is a widely spread sexually transmitted disease among a large group of patients. Poor personal hygiene, poor education, young age, some professions which are a predisposition to promiscuity increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
