Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis infection is the most common bacterial sexual transmitted disease. Nearly 75% of all cases appear clinically unapparent and can cause, especially when getting chronically, infertility. Regarding pregnancy, a nationwide screening for C. trachomatis was established since April 1995. The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of tested patients throughout these 7 years to evaluate the execution of the German guidelines.
