Chlamydiae are one of the most widespread pathogens of man, though up to 90% of infected people have few or no symptoms. This bacterial pathogen has been shown to cause respiratory track infections, pelvic inflammatory disease and articular diseases. We explored group of 20 patients with the elevated anti-chlamydial antibody titres and clinical significance of infection. All patients were also taking a tree-week course of antibiotics therapy.
