Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Chlamydial disease has the major scourges of humans. In women severe, sometimes irreversible complications usually present as the first symptom of genital infection. Though contemporary diagnostic methods are reliable for identifying infections there are economic and acceptance issues surrounding certain intervention strategies involving frequent community wide screening for early detection and for mass treatment. So we aimed at the Chlamydial infections in the community. Method: The study population was 150 cases out of which 100 cases were symptomatic patients who are attending STD clinic and 50 were control group. We selected ELISA test by the patella Chlamydia IgG ELISA kit supplied by BIO-RAD agencies, Hyderabad for detecting Chlamydia IgG antibodies after the Ethical Committee approval. Results: The test results were tabulated. Out of 100 test sera collected for chlamydial infections with variety of clinical symptoms, 12 patients have shown seropositivity, 20.83% belongs to the age group of 21-25 years, 17.64 % of them are belongs to rural group,14.18% are females and 16.66% of patients suffers with syphilis. Conclusion: Present study concludes that 12 cases were positive for chlamydial infection. Majority of the patients belong to the age group of 21-25 years and least incidence was seen among the age group less than 20 years and females were affected more than males. Distribution of chlamydial infection was more in rural area than urban and was found to be syphilis than other STD cases. [ Ramadevi V et al NJIRM 2012; 3(2) : 17-19].
