ophthalmia neonatorum due to chlamydia trachomatis: a family problem?	the most frequently seen type of infectious ophthalmia neonatorum, inclusion conjunctivitis, is caused by the organism chlamydia trachomatis. this agent is known to be transmitted sexually. until recently, the infections produced by c trachomatis were though to be relatively benign. recent evidence, however, suggests that the organism may produce urethritis and epididymitis in the male; cervicitis, cervical erosions, salpingitis, and puerperal infections in the female; and prematurity and pneumo ...	1979	759548
chlamydiae, cervicitis, and abnormal papanicolaou smears.	cervical abnormalities accompanied by papanicolaou class ii or class iii cytologic results are commonly encountered in gynecologic office practice. chlamydiae are a common cause of genital tract infection, with or without manifest symptoms or signs. an immunofluorescence method was used to determine the presence of antichlamydial antibodies in cervical secretions. eleven of 15 patients in whom such antibodies were found (73.3%) had papanicolaou class ii or class iii smears, in contrast to only 3 ...	1979	760016

rates of ectopic pregnancy, sterility follow pid rise.	500,000 cases of pid (pelvic inflammatory disease) are reported annually in the us, with 34,000 to 92,000 women becoming sterile as a consequence of the disease. in addition, the contraceptive methods women use during their exposure to pid-causing agents may directly affect their relative risk of developing pid, at an annual cost of $2.7 billion in health-care expenses. another sequelae of pid is ectopic pregnancy. the std epidemic years from 1965 to 1975 are projected to increase the rate of ...	1980	12278400
isolation of chlamydia trachomatis from the lower respiratory tract of adults.	chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from the lower respiratory tract of six patients who had pulmonary infection, the severity varying from acute bronchitis to severe diffuse interstitial pneumonia. the latter appeared in four immunosuppressed patients, from three of whom cytomegalovirus was also isolated. therapy directed against c. trachomatis resulted in prompt clinical improvement in three patients. two patients died. c. trachomatis causes disease in the adult respiratory tract, the prevalenc ...	1980	6101457

chlamydial pneumonia of infancy: further clinical observations.	two patients with chlamydial pneumonia of infancy are described. one recovered spontaneously without any specific antichlamydial treatment. the other, prior to a belated antimicrobial therapy, developed a persistent and protracted respiratory illness characterized by wheezing. our observations suggest that: (1) untreated chlamydial pneumonia of infancy may spontaneously resolve, or may become a persistent and protracted disease, and (2) wheezing may be a very prominent manifestation of the disea ...	1980	7351101
the significance of chlamydial genital infection in male infertility.	chlamydia trachomatis (c.tr.) is recognized as an aetiological agent in most cases of male nonspecific urethritis, post-gonococcal urethritis, and epididymitis. according to the recent view, c.tr. is considered capable of causing infertility in women, but up to date the significance of c.tr. in male infertility is unknown. according to our study, chlamydial genital infection seems to play a role in male infertility, but in lesser degree than in females. male chlamydial infection seems to be less ...	1980	7356375
techniques for culturing and determining antimicrobial susceptibility of chlamydia trachomatis.	the application of cell culture techniques to the study of chlamydiae have led to isolation of c. trachomatis from a variety of syndromes, among which are nongonococcal urethritis, post-gonococcal urethritis, cervicitis, acute salpingitis, neonatal conjunctivitis, and pneumonia of infants. the methods currently employed fo chlamydia isolation are described, as well as the conditions which affect the infectivity of these organisms to cells in vitro. cell culture methods applicable to the study of ...	1980	7356376
a mouse model of chlamydia trachomatis pneumonitis.	a mouse model for studying infections due to chlamydia trachomatis is described. pneumonitis was produced by intranasal inoculation of four trachoma and one lymphogranuloma venereum strains. the infection was confirmed by cell culture isolation of the organisms from the lung, detection of serum antibody and delayed hypersensitivity, and the observation of inclusions in the interstitial cells of the lung by light and electron microscopy. this study indicates that mice may serve as a useful nonpri ...	1980	7365276
chlamydial infection of the cervix in contacts of men with nongonococcal urethritis.	an investigation of chlamydial infection in sexual contacts of patients with nongonococcal urethritis (ngu) was carried out to determine the clinical signs of infection in the cervix, and their response to chemotherapy, and the incidence of cervical infection in the presence of ectopy and oral contraception. in 202 consecutive female contacts of ngu the isolation rate of chlamydia trachomatis was 35%. hypertrophic ectopy and endocervical mucopus were present in 19% and 37% of chlamydia-positive ...	1980	7370720
