Objective: To determine the correlation between spontaneous abortion and Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in women who experienced spontaneous abortion. Normal pregnancies with gestational age more than equal to 37 weeks as control. Detection of C. trachomatis in the product of conception or placenta from curettage using the PCR method.
Results: Positive C. trachomatis was found 3 cases in the abortion group and 4 cases in control. In the abortion group, C. trachomatis found in 1 case with vaginal discharge history and 2 cases without this history. C. trachomatis also found in 3 cases without a history of abortion. This bacteria was not found in patients with an abortion history. In the control group, 2 cases of positive C. trachomatis were found in pregnant women with or without a history of vaginal discharge and abortion, respectively. There were no significant differences regarding the positive of C. trachomatis between the two study groups regarding history of vaginal discharge and abortion.
Conclusions: Spontaneous abortion does not correlate with C. trachomatis infection.
