C. trachomatis infection was diagnosed with PCR using BD ProbeTecTM CT\/GC Amplified DNA Assay. Socio-demographic, behavioral, and reproductive data were collected using structured questionnaires. All collections were performed by previously trained medical students. The study included a stratified probabilistic sample from four maternity hospitals in the city. The sample included 562 pregnant women, and prevalence of C. trachomatis infection was 12.3% (95%CI: 9.6-15.0). No significant association was identified between C. trachomatis infection and any of the target variables, including obstetric outcomes such as history of preterm delivery. Our findings in terms of low treatment adherence, only 43% of the women and 9.7% of partners, associated with high C. trachomatis prevalence, reinforce the need to implement routine screening for C. trachomatis during prenatal care. The attempt to diagnose and treat this infection after delivery, as in this study, limits the possibility of success.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0102-311x00067415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,17]],"date-time":"2017-02-17T07:12:22Z","timestamp":1487315542000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Chlamydia
