title: Chlamydia trachomatis immunotypes in Finland.
abstract: The distribution of different immunotypes of Chlamydia trachomatis in Finland was studied in the micro-immunofluorescence test by typing 51 isolates with immune sera produced in mice and by testing human sera from 397 individuals with various clinical diagnoses, mostly sexually-transmitted diseases. The immunotypes of the isolates as well the antibodies found were, in decreasing prevalence, BED, GF, CJ, K, H, and I.
