ABSTRACT
A prospective study was performed to analyse the relationship between urogenital infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and occlusions of the fallopian tubes with histologically confirmed chronic salpingitis and salpingitis isthmica nodosa. 110 infertile patients were tested for C. trachomatis infection. 23 patients with tubal occlusions and histologically confirmed chronic salpingitis (group 1) and eight patients with salpingitis isthmica nodosa (group 2) were compared to 13 patients with tubal occlusions after tuboligation (group 3), and to 66 patients with patent fallopian tubes as demonstrated by laparoscopy or hysterosalpingography (group 4). The prevalence of infections of the endocervix or urethra and the presence of Chlamydia in urine was low in all four groups. However, in groups 1 and 2, the median Chlamydia IgG and IgA serum antibody titres were significantly higher (p < or = 0.0002) than in groups 3 and 4. This result illustrates the association between urogenital infections with Chlamydia and tubal occlusions with histologically documented chronic salpingitis and salpingitis isthmica nodosa.
