Resumo
To evaluate the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in women undergoing
assisted reproduction in a public reference service in the midwestern region of Brazil. METHODS: A cross-sectional study
was conducted on 340 women aged from 20 to 47 years with a history of infertility, undergoing assisted reproduction
techniques. Infections with Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae identified in urine specimens by PCR,
and the profile of infertility were analyzed. We used the χ 2 test or Fisher’s exact test to evaluate the association between
infection and variables. RESULTS: The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection was 10.9%, and Neisseria
gonorrhoeae co-infection was observed in 2 cases. Women infected with Chlamydia trachomatis had more than
10 years of infertility (54.1%; p<0.0001). The tubal factor was the main cause in infected cases (56.8%; p=0.047).
Tubal occlusion was found in 67.6% of cases with positive infection (p=0.004). CONCLUSION: There was an
association of tubal obstruction with infection by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, reinforcing the
need for effective strategies for an early detection of sexually transmitted diseases, especially in asymptomatic women
of childbearing age.
