OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection and the correlates of tubal pathology among Ghanaian women undergoing hysterosalpingography for suspected tubal factor infertility.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 189 women with infertility who underwent hysterosalpingography at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana, from September 1 to November 30, 2016. Demographic data; obstetric and gynecologic history; and hysterosalpingography findings were collected using a structured questionnaire. Endocervical swabs were tested for the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis using a rapid antigen-based diagnostic kit. Associations between the variables were assessed using bivariate analysis.
RESULTS: Positive test results for Chlamydia trachomatis were recorded among 15 participants, giving an overall prevalence of 7.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.1%-11.7%). In all, 67 (35.4%) participants had abnormal findings on hysterosalpingography, with 40 (21.2%) displaying bilateral tubal occlusion. The remaining 122 (64.6%) women had normal findings on hysterosalpingography. Eight participants with normal tubal appearance tested positive for Chlamydia trachomatis (prevalence 6.6%, 95% CI 2.2%-11.0%), whereas seven participants with abnormal tubal appearance tested positive (prevalence 10.4%, 95% CI 3.1%-17.7%; P=0.402). No associations were found between participant characteristics and tubal pathology.
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis did not differ by hysterosalpingography findings.
