[Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infections as a cause of sexually transmissible diseases--studies from a Berlin counseling center for venereal diseases].
In a study of the Public Health Advisory Centre for Veneral Diseases in Berlin-Schöneberg 207 patients with signs of urethritis and/or cervicitis were examined in antigen- and antibody-tests for infections with Chlamydia trachomatis Type D-K. On the strength of the high prevalence of 33.3% in the antigen test and 40.1% in the IgA antibody test an extension of the STD diagnostic by the Advisory Boards for Veneral Diseases is demanded by means of an appropriate amendment of the Law for the Control of Veneral Diseases for which epidemiological arguments are given.
