Epidemiological methods were applied to investigate the condition of lower genital infectious diseases. General data were recorded in a questionnaire and several examinations of lower genital infectious disease were given to each person. The data was analyzed by statistics method.


RESULTS
The morbidity of Chlamydia was the highest in the lower genital tract infectious diseases in our research. Morbidity of infusorians in person with the habit of tub bath was much higher than person with shower habit. Compared with the other three groups, out-patients of Peking University First Hospital have the highest morbidity of Chlamydia.
