[Perinatal aspects of serological diagnosis in urogenital chlamydiosis].

The pregnancy course, labor, delivery and early neonatal period were studied in pregnant women with Chlamydia trachomatis infection as well as in their children. The levels of specific antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis pgp 3 plasmid protein in maternal sera as well as perinatal complications were comparatively analyzed. According to the results, examination of anti-pgp3 antibodies is a highly specific and useful tool for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis infection at its active stage in pregnant women.
