title: [Chlamydial infection in women with ectopic pregnancy].
abstract: A study was carried out on the presence of antibodies to C. trachomatis in women with ectopic pregnancy, established during laparotomy. Pathohistological examination discovered that ectopic pregnancy occurred due to chronic salpingitis in a larger part of the women. The presence of antibodies to C. trachomatis was found in women with more sexual partners more frequently. Serum data for infection to C. trachomatis did not correlate with inflammatory gynecological diseases, undergone in the past. From the obtained results the authors could conclude that the endured subclinical chlamydial infection has caused damage of the Fallopian tubes, which is the cause for occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
