“…[13] The incidence of perinatal complications was significantly higher in IgG and IgA antibodies-positive pregnant women at 30 weeks of gestational age. This fact also may indicate of maternal acquisition of re- or new chlamydial infection in later part of pregnancy.…”

“…It was reported that the rates of seropositivity to C. trachomatis during pregnancy were significantly higher in mothers who had given birth to infants with complications than in matched control. [35,36] Several investigators have reported that 2 to 20 % of pregnant women have C. trachomatis in their endocervix. Pregnant women who carry C. trachomatis in their genital tract may suffer from a general disturbance of immunoregulation.…”

Chlamydia trachomatis has been recognized as a pathogen of trachoma, nongonococcal urethritis, salpingitis, endocervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, inclusion conjunctivitis of neonates, follicular conjunctivitis of adults, infantile pneumonia and associated conditions. Chlamydial infections during pregnancy may also cause a variety of perinatal complications. Different antigenic strains of C. trachomatis from endocervical, nasopharyngeal and conjunctival origins have been associated with different clinical conditions. Control programs emphasizing early diagnosis, targeted screening, and effective treatment will lead to an eventual decline in the incidence of perinatal chlamydial infection. This review focuses on current problems of perinatal C. trachomatis infections in the aspects of microbiological and immunological pathogenesis.
