title: [Pathogenetic aspects of chlamydia-associated urogenic arthritis: feasibility of microorganism reproduction in cells of articular cartilage].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The study of feasibility of Chlamydia trachomatis infection and reproduction. This microorganism is an essential etiologic factor in urogenic arthritis, in chondrocytes and fibroblasts of human skin.
  
  
  METHODS
  Infection of human skin chondrocytes and fibroblasts was made with chlamydia CP-1 strain isolated from joint fluid of the patient and serially passaged in the hen's embryo yolksacs. The inoculation results were assessed by direct staining with the use of monoclonal and fluorescent antibodies and hematoxiline.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Chlamydial infection of human skin connective tissue, chondrocytes of the auricular cartilage and fibroblasts in particular, is possible.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The findings confirm the ability of Chlamydia trachomatis to reproduce in the cartilage tissue.
