[Chlamydia trachomatis infection of the urogenital system in our clinical experience].
The increased number of the genitourinary system infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (Ch. Tr.), increased number of patients with dysuria or sterile leukocyturia gave stimulus to studies of 615 patients from Department of Nephrology and District Outpatient Nephrological Care Unit with regard to infections with that microbes. Material for investigations derived from urethra. Diagnostic examinations were performed using the Mc Coy cell culture and the immunofluorescence method. The infection was noted in 176 patients (119 women and 57 men) that is in 28.6% of cases studied. The mean age of patients was 42.7 +/- 12 years. Clinical symptoms such as dysuria or frequency were typical for that kind of infection. The most frequent abnormality was leukocyturia or leukocyturia accompanied by erythrocyturia noted in 66% of patients. Isolated erythrocyturia was observed in 24.4% of cases. It has been stated that anamnesis or routine laboratory examinations were not able to the identification of infection. In face of poorly characteristics of clinical picture of infection the infection with Ch.Tr. could be the cause of unsuccessful therapy in patients with signs of genitourinary tract infections.
