Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis is a major
asymptom~tic and ublinical p~lvic
~ticlogic factor in
infla.~atoxy disease
(PID) .
Tbe most i.portant seqoalae of PID is the cccurenc~ of
\nfertJllty resultlng fro~ ccclu~ion, re~t~iction or
dysfunctl~n of fallopi8n tubes, althouqh a correlation
between tubal infertility and the Fr@valanc@ of ~@ru.
antibodies to C.trachaaatis has been obse~ved.

This stUdy vas car~l~d ~ut Qn 100 infertile ~o.ent 81
had pri.ary infertility and 13 secondary infertIlity. TUbal
damage vas inv&sti9_t~~ by llplQdQl or uroqraffin HSG and by
la~ar~scopy. In stUdy ~roup 50 cases with tubal daaagB 10
ca5es shoved cornual block ISubgrQup-A}. 26 cases sbowed
perltllb~l adb~~lon5 (Subgroup-B) and 14 caBea ahow~d distal

non tubal infertility i.e. their fallopian tubes we~e patent

primary infertility and 9 cages had secondary infertility.
Male f~ctor Inf~rtility vas ex~luded by husband’s sper~09ram
