[Chlamydia trachomatis in induced abortion] Abstract Text:

The prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis in the outer cervix was studied and related with the presence of postoperative symptoms and complications, especially regarding salpingitis. The study sample was made up of 379 women who had undergone induced abortions during their 1st trimester at a regional hospital. These women were tested the day prior to surgery for chlamydia trachomatis. A 2nd test was taken immediately after surgery, and a 3d 10 days following that. Of the total 379 patients, 30 (7.9%) had positive test results at the 1st examination. Younger (19 years and under) women had many more positives than did older (p 0.10). At the end of the 1st postoperative month, 5.0% were readmitted because of complications. More chlamydia-positive than chlamydia-negative women were admitted than before the abortions (p 0.09). Postabortem salpingitis was diagnosed among 3:30 (10 percent) of chlamydia-positive women, and 8:346 (2.5%) chlamydia-negative women (p 0.09). Of the 30 chlamydia-positive women, 4 were readmitted to the hospital for inpatient treatment. Of the remaining 26, 4 had such long travelling distances to the hospital that they were only given prescriptions for lymecycline 300 mg x 2 for 7 days, including treatment for their partners. The remaining 22 women were treated as outpatients and given the same dosage of lymecycline as above. 19 of these 22 women were given follow-up examinations around 10 days after treatment ended. All then had negative tests. In light of the high rate of salpingitis found in chlamydia-positive women, the authors urge greater cooperation be established between physicians who examine women in connection with abortions and the hospitals which perform them, with a goal of treating chlamydia-positive women before their abortions, so that post-abortem salpingitis can be prevented.
