title: [The prevalence of anti-Chlamydia trachomatis and anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae antibodies in Brazzaville].
abstract: The prevalence study of antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia pneumoniae in Brazzaville were screened from 108 women (56 pregnant women, 18 infertile women and 34 women affected with genital tract infections) and 108 blood donors (control subjects) by indirect microimmunofluorescent assay. 57.4% of studied women were carrying Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies, and 51.8% had C. pneumoniae antibodies. Prevalence of Chlamydia antibodies by women group studied was estimated to be: in pregnancy women group 51.7% of C. trachomatis antibodies and 62.5% of C. pneumoniae antibodies; in infertile women group 61.1% of C. trachomatis antibodies and 33.3% of C. pneumoniae antibodies; in women affected with genital tract infections group: 64.7% of C. trachomatis antibodies and 44.1% of C. pneumoniae antibodies. In blood donors group, the prevalence of IgG antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis is 27.7% and 37% for IgG antibodies against C. pneumoniae.
