Clinical Analysis of 104 Cases with Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection in Genitourinary Tract

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of chlamydia trachomatis infection and status of mixed infection in outpatients from the department of dermatology in Xijing hospital in the recent four years. Methods:A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 104 cases of chlamydia trachomatis infection in the genitourinary tract,which were diagnosed from November 2007 to June 2011. Results:104 cases of urogenital chlamydia trachomatis infection consisted of 71 male patients(68.72%) and 33 female patients(31.73%).Among them,39 cases(37.50%) showed chlamydia infection alone,35 cases of which were male(89.74%),accounting for 49.30% of all male patients(35/71),and 4 cases were female(10.26%),accounting for 12.12% of all female patients(4/33).And the other 65 cases showed mixed infection(52.50%),among which 36 cases were male(55.38%),accounting for 50.70% of all male patients(36/71),and 29 cases were female(44.62%),accounting for 87.88% of all female patients(27/33).Rate of infection with more than one pathogen was higher in females than that in males,and it was higher than infection with chlamydial alone for both males and females. Conclusion:Infection rate of chlamydia trachomatis alone in genitourinary tract is not as high as that of co-infected with other STI organisms,therefore a comprehensive examination should be performed on STI patients and their sexual partners.
