Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis among women attending gynecology and infertility clinics in Gaza, Palestine

Abstract

The study revealed that a significant proportion of Palestinian women expressed evidence of exposure to C. trachomatis. Women with cervicitis are more likely to have been previously infected or exposed to Chlamydia infection. Furthermore, PCR proved to be superior and more efficient in the diagnosis of C. trachomatis than EIA.
