The antichlamydia antibody was assayed via ELISA method.Results: Positive titer was reported in 32.3 percent of the population under study. Statistically significant differences between positive and negative titres were noted in groups with tubal infertility (p; 0.006) patients with history of PID (p: 0.003) and vaginitis (P: 0.001) and patients with tubal pathology reported on hysterosalpingography (P: 0.027).Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it seems that there is a strong correlation between Chlamydia trachomatis infection and tubal infertility in Iranian infertile patients.   %U https://www.ijfs.ir/article_46160_65434ccd93871ada85d14efcb45405de.pdf
