dc.description.abstractChlamydia trachomatis is one of the most prevalent genital pathogens in pregnant women. Ascending, transcervical infection may reach fetal membranes creating chonoamnionitis or amniotic fluid infection. The aim of this study was to examine amniotic fluids obtained during cesarean section for the presence of chlamydial IgM- and IgG-specific antibodies, and for the presence of C. trachomatis antigen. Five of 52 (9.6%) amniotic fluid samples were sero-positive for C. trachomatis IgM antibody, while only 1 was IgG antibody sero-positive. Two of 52 (3.8%) amniotic fluid samples had C. trachomatis antigen in the epithelial cells of the amnion. In conclusion, our data indicate that there is a high rate of transmission of C. trachomatis from mother to infant and that the pathogen can be identified in the amniotic fluid. © 1996 S.
