“…Although the patients tested positive for C. trachomatis may not always have been associated with obvious symptoms, it has major role in perinatal mortality. [20] Control programs emphasizing targeted screening, early diagnosis, and effective treatment will have led to an eventual decline in the incidence of perinatal and neonatal chlamydial infections. [21] Approaches to prevention and treatment of chlamydial infections in pregnant women and infants seem to be necessary, including new antimicrobial interventions and the development of a vaccine strategy.…”

“…It is also recommended to test pregnant women in the fi rst trimester of gestation (15). Evidence was provided as to the correlation between C. trachomatis infection and premature uterine activity with subsequent signifi cantly higher perinatal mortality in pregnant women positive for C. trachomatis (16,17,18). Effectiveness of screening for C. trachomatis depends to a considerable degree on the diagnostic method used.…”

Abstract:Objective: To investigate the prevalence of urogenital chlamydial infections in women from Eastern Slovakia and to compare the occurrence in women with and without clinical signs of disease. Material and methods:We examined a total of 1978 women from Eastern Slovakia for the presence of C. trachomatis over a three year period. Antichlamydial antibodies of classes IgG and IgA were detected by ELISA while PCR was applied to detect pathogen. Results: 3.6 % of the population had presence of antibodies while 10.1 % of the women showed presence of bacteria by PCR. Conclusions:Obtained results when compared with clinical examination revealed clear distinction, which was age dependent. Lower age categories were more likely affected by acute infection with positivity for IgA and IgG antibodies as well as PCR. Middle age categories showed signifi cantly higher level of IgG antibodies in comparison to IgA, while pathogen was readily detected by PCR. In women older than 51 years the results refl ected more likely a past infection that is presence of only IgG and negative PCR (Tab. 4, Ref. 18). Full Text in PDF www.elis.sk.

“…There have been some reports on the risk factors for these infections in the pregnant status. The risk factors for C. trachomatis infection in pregnant women were reported to be young age, unmarried status, history of gonorrhea and first intercourse at less than 17 years of age 14,15 . Also, it was reported that the risk factors for BV were single marital status and high levels of chronic stress during pregnancy 16,17 …”
