[Study of Chlamydia trachomatis infection on cervical secretion of women with early pregnancy and secondary sterility].
OBJECTIVE
This study was to investigate the Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection rate in cervical secretion of early pregnant and secondary sterility women.


METHODS
CT-DNA in the cervical secretion of the early pregnant, the secondary sterility, and the control women was detected with polymerase chain reaction (PCR).


RESULTS
The infection rates of CT in the early pregnant and secondary sterility women (14.28% and 13.33%) were higher than in the control women (3.33%, P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference between the former two groups (P > 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
There are higher infection rates in the early pregnant and secondary sterility women. Detecting CT and treating in the perinatal period are needed in the early pregnant women who want to be pregnant again.
