Isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis in Singapore. 1986

E H Sng, and T Thirumoorthy, and W S Yuen

With the introduction of the culture method for isolating Chlamydia trachomatis in Singapore, several studies have been carried out to define its prevalence in different patient populations. The organism was isolated from a variety of clinical conditions. In certain clinical settings it appears to be even more prevalent than the gonococcus. Over 10% of the prostitutes are carriers, and they are probably the major transmitters. A control programme is needed to reduce the infective reservoir.
