title: [Report of 4 cases of Chlamydia infection in the urogenital tract].
abstract: Four cases of Chlamydia infection of the urogenital tract were received-recently in our out-patient clinic for foreign patients. The 4 patients were two couples. Both male patients had histories of coitus with other partners: among these two, one had suffered gonorrhea and the other was suspected of having had gonorrhea. Urogenital tract symptoms or sustained abnormal urine analysis results are characteristic of this disease, but in females often no obvious symptoms present. Measurements with fluorescence-labeled Chlamydia trachomatis monoclonal antibody provided a simple and accurate method and was used in the diagnosis of this disease. All the 4 cases were cured by tetracycline. Finally, current epidemics, infectious features, diagnosis and treatment for this disease are discussed.
