Chlamydia trachomatis infection among patients undergoing chorionic villus sampling.
Chlamydia trachomatis was recovered from the cervices of 0.5% (3/560) of women undergoing chorionic villus sampling. Because this population has been identified as a low-risk group, routine screening of sexually transmitted Chlamydia prior to chorionic villus sampling is not warranted.
