The authors examined using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) more than 2700 gynaecological patients for the presence of Ch. tracheomatis. The patients were mostly from Bratislava and surroundings. The material used were cervical smears or morning urine. The most frequent diagnoses associated with Chlamydia infection were adnexitis (38%), cervicitis (22%), pelvic pain (9%), sterility (9%), cystitis and ureteritis (3%) abortus imminenes (4%) partus prematurus imminenes (9%). There was a marked seasonal character of chlamydias with the peak during the summer period. The mean age of the patients was 29.2 years and thus the assumed higher incidence of younger age groups was not confirmed. PCR proved to be an accurate, reliable and perspective method for the detection of Ch. trachomatis in Slovak gynaecological patients.

Chlamydia species are responsible for a variety of infections in humans. Chlamydia trachomatis represents the most frequently found species among Chlamydia in urogenital infections of females and males. The clinically most relevant infection appears to be bacterial adnexitis of the female that may cause sterility. However, Chlamydia also indicates a remarkably high prevalence in the urogenital tract of asymptomatic males. This review summarizes the most current developments in the diagnostics and therapeutical approaches in Chlamydia infections of the male accessory sex glands.
