Contact infections by chlamydia trachomatis have been observed more frequently in the last years, may be by better isolation methods. 1985 in all pelviscopies a cervical swab and cul-de-sac secretion have been examined using immunofluorescent test for chlamydia. In non selected 80 patients a positive cervical test could be found in 11 cases (13.8 per cent). In cul-de-sac secretions only 3 cases (3.8 per cent) in result was positive. We saw wide spread adhesions near the adnexa, which could be the reason of sterility, in 3 chlamydia positive cases and in 6 chlamydia negative cases. Results of chlamydia examinations are discussed with regard to sterility and the necessity of treatment with tetracyclines or erythromycin including the sexual partner.
