title: [Demonstration of Chlamydia trachomatis IgG using ELISA in transsexuals and homosexuals].
abstract: In this study, 27 sera samples collected from transsexuals and homosexuals have been searched for Chlamydia trachomatis IgG antibodies with ELISA. Anti-Chlamydia IgG have been found positive in 18 cases (66.7%). In our study group there were no clinical symptoms except one case of transsexuals. Seropositivity rate of homosexuals (8/15) and transsexuals (10/12) were found to be important for transmitting the disease.
