Abstract
This observational study was conducted in 235 patients undergoing IVF who had a cervical swab positive for Chlamydia trachomatis and who underwent antibiotic treatment until a negative cervical swab before IVF attempt. After oocyte retrieval, follicular fluids of 109 patients out of 228 still showed the presence of IgA antichlamydia antibodies and a significantly lower pregnancy and implantation rate; therefore we conclude that patients should undergo IVF procedure after serum antichlamydia IgA tests negative.Entities:
