Gorini, F. Milano, P. Olliaro, A. Regazzetti, E. Rondanelli] In recent years Chlamydia trachomatis has emerged as a significant cause of acute salpingitis and reproductory failure. In this study, 85 women suffering from primary infertility and 85 parous women as control group were screened for C. trachomatis genital infection by means of cell culture and antigen detection on genital samples as well as the detection of anti-chlamydial antibodies in blood. C. trachomatis was detected in 31.8% of infertile women and 5.8% of fertile subjects. Isolation of C. trachomatis in cell culture proved to be the most reliable diagnostic tool when compared to immunofluorescence staining on smears and serology. Although the latter may be considered of great value in epidemiological researches, culture isolation should be associated for the diagnosis of active infection.
