Summary

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most frequently worldwide reported bacterial sexually transmitted pathogen at present. Approximately 80% of infections are asymptomatic. Therefore we examined primarily risk groups of population. The enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used. 3 462 blood samples were examined (2 506 from women and 956 from men). In the group of women the patients with clinical signs of chlamydial infection, women before delivery, and infertile women were examined. The women before abortion were examined as a control group. IgG antichlamydial antibodies were detected in 289 women (11.4%); IgA antichlamydial antibodies were found in 125 out of 2 506 women blood sera examined (4.9%). In both cases, the highest positivity was observed in the group of women between 20 to 29 years of age. In the group of men, the 4.3% positivity to presence of IgA antichlamydial antibodies and 11.8% positivity to presence of IgG antichlamydial antibodies were detected (tab. 3) [10].

Key words:
Chlamydia trachomatis – ELISA – IgA – IgG – prevalence
