Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
With the emergence of AIDS in the 1980s sexually transmitted disease (STDs) received increased attention.The most common agent is Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Nesseria gonorrhea and etc. CT commonlycauses non-gonococcal urethritis, epididymitis, cervicitis, salpaingitis and etc. The study was carried outfrom the women of 18 to 40 years of age. They were more prone to CT infection. In the study period 200women patients were investigated. CT antigen was detected using Trachomatis Lps antigen test andintracellular inclusion was detected by Giemsa staining method.Out of 200 people 21 women were found positive. The prevalence of CT infection in women was 10.5%between the age of 20 and 30 years. Among eighty six non-pregnant women seven positive cases weredetected i.e., 18.1%. One hundred and fourteen pregnant patients were evaluated and fourteen were foundpositive i.e., 12.28%. The Incidence of CT in relation to gestation period was evaluated. There were nopositive cases detected up to fifth month of the pregnancy. The maximum percentage of CT infectedpatients was detected after the sixth month of pregnancy. The rate of infection was higher in pregnantwomen between the age of 20 and 30 years.
