Prevalence of chlamydial infections in male patients with nongonococcal urethritis. 1982

P Peiulescu, and S Anghelescu, and N Stoian, and P Athanasiu, and J Ossman

Direct examination of urethral smears made evident the presence of chlamydial infection in 162 (38.1%) of 425 male patients with nongonococcal urethritis. Serum antibodies to the group antigen could be detected by complement fixation and microagglutination reactions only in about 50% of the cases with chlamydial infection. The proportion of chlamydial strains isolated in chick embryos was rather low (14.8%) and the isolation rate appeared to correlate with the abundance of urethral secretion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008219 Lymphogranuloma Venereum Subacute inflammation of the inguinal lymph glands caused by certain immunotypes of CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS. It is a sexually transmitted disease in the U.S. but is more widespread in developing countries. It is distinguished from granuloma venereum (see GRANULOMA INGUINALE), which is caused by Calymmatobacterium granulomatis. Lymphogranuloma Inguinale
D008297 Male Males
D002692 Chlamydia trachomatis Type species of CHLAMYDIA causing a variety of ocular and urogenital diseases.
D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.
