In 2001, 300 patients with urethral, vaginal discharge syndromes were tested at National Institute of Dermato-Venereology and detected 27 patients infected Chlamydia trachomatis (9%). Prevalence of Chlamydia infection was 11.49% among men and 5.55% among women. The most Chlamydia trachomatis-induced genital infections were people aged 21-40 (9%)

Peritoneal inclusion cysts are fluid collections among adhesions occurring after an inflammatory process in the peritoneal cavity or after an operation. The typical ultrasound morphology of a peritoneal inclusion cyst is that of a cystic mass following the contours of the pelvis, and with a deformed ovary suspended among adhesions centrally or peripherally in the cyst, and the cyst may contain both septa and papillary projection. So sometimes it is difficult to distinguish an ovarian mass from peritoneal inclusion cyst. We experienced one case of huge peritoneal inclusion cyst caused by chlamydia trachomatis infection and then we report it together with a brief review of literatures.

Chlamydia trachomatis is known as a major causative microorganism in non-gonococcal urethritis(NGU) in men. We examined two kinds of specimens simultaneously, endourethral swab and urine, in each patient to determine the reliability of these two different specimens for the detection of the Chlamydia trachomatis antigen in male NGU patients using ELISA method. Tota1 273 patients entered this study were divided into two groups according to sampling order of urine and endourethral swab. In group A(141 patients), we took endourethral swab first, then first portion of voided urine was caught. In group B(132 patients), endourethral swab was performed after urine sampling. Twenty five out of 273 patients(9.2%) showed Chlamydia trachomatis antigen positive in endourethral swab sample and 1 out of 273 patients(0.4%) was positive in urine sample. There was no significant difference of antigen positive rate of endourethral swab examination between group A and group B. Our data suggest that examination of endourethral swab is more reliable method for the detection of the Chlamydia trachomatis antigen than urine examination in male NGU patient.

Possible role of chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) in non-gonococcal Urethritis and chronic prostatitis was investigated by enzyme immunoassay technique in a study of 85 cases of non-gonococcal urethritis and 23 chronic prostatitis cases. 1. C. trachomatis was detected from 21 (24.7%) of 85 non-gonococcal urethritis patients and third decade represented the highest positive rate. 2. C. trachomatis was detected from 5 cases (21.7%) of 23 chronic prostatitis patients. 3. A significantly higher positive C. trachomatis detection rate of 60. 7% was obtained from those with a profuse urethral discharge compared with those with a scanty discharge. 4. A significantly higher positive C. trachomatis detection rate of 52.3% was obtained from cases with no previous history of urethritis compared with those who had previous history of urethritis in 85 cases of non-gonococcal urethritis.
