The Clinical Presentation ofChlamydia trachomatisin a Urological Practice

Abstract
Men (59) with C. trachomatis (CT) infection have been studied. Epididymitis was the most common presentation (26) compared with urethritis (8) and prostatitis (9). Only 13 patients gave a history of a urethral discharge. Fifteen of 21 female consorts screened were CT positive and 13 of these were asymptomatic. This demonstrates the major etiological role of CT in lower genitourinary infection and indicates the importance of screening and treating consorts.
