Human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected women exhibit reduced interferon-gamma secretion after Chlamydia trachomatis stimulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes.
(2000)
Epidemiologic, animal, and in vitro models suggest an important role for interferon (IFN)-gamma in the clearance of Chlamydia trachomatis infection. IFN-gamma in the supernatants of in vitro-stimulated peripheral blood ...
Human leukocyte antigen class II DQ alleles associated with Chlamydia trachomatis tubal infertility.
(2000)
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate epidemiologic tubal infertility risk factors and the relationship between HLA class II alleles and Chlamydia trachomatis tubal infertility.
METHODS:
Forty-seven women with tubal infertility ...

(2002)
Up to 70% of cases of pelvic inflammatory disease do not have a known cause. We recruited 115 women who had presented to a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases in Nairobi, Kenya with pelvic pain that had persisted for ...
Immunogenetic correlates for Chlamydia trachomatis-associated tubal infertility
(2003)
OBJECTIVE:
To understand immunogenetic mechanisms of Chlamydia trachomatis infection and tubal scarring.
METHODS:
We measured and compared previously significant human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II DQ alleles, their ...

(2002)
Although it seems possible in a developing country context such as Kenya, given appropriate inputs and a sound approach, to shift a sexually transmitted disease (STI) epidemic from phase II to III, it is not entirely clear ...
