title: [Frequency of Chlamydia trachomatis in women under 35 years of age consulting the general practitioner for gynecologic or obstetric reasons].
abstract: In a general practice, we examined 173 women under the age of 35 years who sought help for gynaecological or obstetric reasons, consecutively. 18% of all of the examinations for Chlamydia rendered positive results. Chlamydia infection was commonest in the younger age groups. The case histories and objective findings were unsuited for predicting which of the patients had Chlamydia infection. Routine examination for Chlamydia is recommended in women under 25 years in general practice.
