338 subjects at the age of 17-49 were undergone EIA test. Results showed an increasing trend in Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Clinical manifestations were not detected. The incidence is highest at the age of 17-26 (14.68%), 17-36 (10.67%). In the groups of genital tract inflamation, of uterine neck, of vaginitis the incidence reaches 2.7%, 12.71% and 12.50% respectively

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.

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.
