Abstract

ABSTRACT: Among 73 women presenting to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic in Birmingham, Alabama for reported sexual contact to a chlamydia-infected partner, Chlamydia trachomatis was detected in genital specimens in 24 (32.8%), less often in women reporting prior chlamydial infection ( P = 0.001). Most women (93.2%) were C. trachomatis seropositive.
