Chlamydial and gonococcal serology in women with tubal infertility
Abstract:
Sera from 81 infertile women with tubal pathology and 40 controls were tested for the presence of antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis & Neisserria gonorrhoeae. Indirect immunoperoxidase test (Ipazyme kit) & Enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA kit) were used for detection of chlamydial & gonococcal antibodies respectively. Antibodies to Ch. trachomatis were found in 74.07% of the infertile women and 5% in control group. Only a very low prevalence (4.93%) of antibodies to N. gonorrhoeae was found is infertile women as compared to nil in control group. Antibodies detection is a sensitive, specific and noninvasive test for diagnosing infertility.
