@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1. Chlamydia trachomatis antibodywas positive in 16(15.8%) of 101 patients with PID.
2. The highest prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis antibody associated PID occurred in the group os 41 to 50 years old (33.3%).
3. there were no significant differences in parity and abortion between Chlamydia trachomatis antibody positive and negative group.
4. Positive rate of chlamydia trachomastis antibody was not differ between group who uwed contraceptives and who dose not used contraceptives.
