Chlamydia trachomatis, infertiliteit en in vitro-fertilisatie

– The prevalence of antichlamydial antibodies was assessed in a group of 77 infertile women who had been referred for in-vitro fertilization in Tilburg. Seropositivity rates were compared with those of a control group. C. trachomatis seems to be responsible for a considerable proportion of tubal infertility. A history of chlamydial infection, however, does not influence the success of in-vitro fertilization treatment.
