Pregnancy is a time of many changes in a woman's life, including hormonal and physiological changes and reduced immune activity, making her vulnerable to infections [44]. Thus, females are more likely to acquire CT infections during pregnancy, which may result in the higher prevalence of CT estimated by Rowley et al The pooled CT prevalence in Europe was in line with the meta-analysis by Redmond et al in European Union/European Economic Area (EU/ EEA) Member States, and the 95% CI were overlapped between two studies [14].…”

In a previous study that was conducted in Papua New Guinea, it was reported that more than half of the study women (53.6 %) had any one of the STIs and 71.6% were asymptomatic.…”
