AB OBJECTIVE: A part of chlamydial infections is known to be sexually
transmitted. If one person develops chlamydial conjunctivitis, the
sexual partner also has a high chance of developing it. The objective of
this study to examine the clinical and microbiological features of
chlamydial conjunctivitis among the sex partners. METHODS: Six patients
with chlamydial conjunctivitis and their 6 sex partners were studied. To
detect Chlamydia trachomatis, conjunctival swabs were cultured by McCoy
cell method. Immunofluorescence direct method (FA), polymerase chain
reaction (PCR), and serotyping by restriction fragment length
polymorphism (RFLP) were also done. RESULTS: Among the 6 sexual
partners, 4 had conjunctivitis. Among 12 swabs, 8 strains of Chlamydia
trachomatis were isolated. Nine of 12 samples were FA positive, and 9
were PCR positive. All PCR positive were serotyped with PCR and RFLP
method, and 5 were type G, 3 were type D, and one was type F. Three of 6
pairs of sex partners were both PCR positive, and the same serotype were
detected. CONCLUSION: 3 pairs of sex partners had the same serotype
chlamydial conjunctivitis.
