Investigations for Chlamydia infections of the genital tract were performed in 270 Viennese registered, as well as in 51 non-registered prostitutes. The results were compared with findings obtained in 56 female patients attending an out-patient STD clinic and 48 pregnant women seeking antenatal care in a department of obstetrics. Diagnosis of Chlamydia infection was the organisms on cultured McCoy cells after treatment with cycloheximide. The highest infection rate (31%) was found in non-licensed prostitutes. In registered prostitutes, 20.4% of the cervical smears proved to be positive for Chlamydia. The control groups showed lower infection rates of 9% and 4%, respectively. These results indicate that women who frequently change their sexual partners are considerably more at risk of contracting Chlamydia infections. Hence, this group of persons should be more regularly investigated and--if necessary--given appropriate treatment in order to prevent further spread of the disease.
