The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of genital chlamydial infection in male military recruits in Stockholm, Sweden. Two hundred and thirty-eight men who admitted to sexual experience were included in the study. One hundred and five (44%) of these 238 men consented to a specimen being taken for chlamydial culture. Eleven (10%) of these 105 men had a positive chlamydial culture. All 11 men were 17-18 years old and 10 were asymptomatic. In order to decrease the prevalence of chlamydial infection, screening of young men is as essential as screening of women.
