Materials: The incidence of IgG antibodies against the chlamydial heat shock protein (cHSP60) and against the species-specific chlamydial major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydia trachomatis (C. t.J and Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. p.) in the blood serum of 70 females attending a fertilization program due to fertility disorders were estimated, and the results compared with those obtained from 50 females suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and from 51 female blood donors respectively. Results: The anti-cHSP60 antibodies have been ascertained as follows: in 26 women from the first group (37.1 %), in 16 of the second group (32.0 %) and in 12 (23.5 %) of the last group. The occurrence of the anti- cHSP60 antibodies in the groups examined was statistically insignificant. Similarly no difference in the occurrence of the species-specific anti-MOMP antibodies C. t. and C. p. were found in the groups examined. Conclusion: The occurrence of species-specific antibodies against C. t. in women of all groupswith positive reaction anti cHSP60 is significantly higher than in thosewithout the antibodies against cHSP60, but against C, p. the phenomenon was observed only in the group of the blood donorsTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZdruženje slovenskih dermatovenerologov
