Chlamydia trachomatis–Specific Antibody Responses in Women in Cameroon With Secondary Infertility

Abstract

The contribution of chlamydia to secondary infertility in women is poorly understood. Among 404 female participants enrolled in a previous study in Cameroon, 142 with secondary infertility (cases) and 262 pregnant with no history of infertility (controls), Chlamydia trachomatis seropositivity was 92%. Seropositivity did not significantly differ by case/control status.
