Abstract

Introduction: Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacteria responsible of the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease worldwide, causing severe tubal damage responsible of ectopic pregnancy. This study was conducted to determine the incidence of chlamydia in women with ectopic pregnancy ruptured in a reference hospital of capital town of Madagascar. Patients and methods: This is a transversal and descriptive study of screening for Chlamydia trachomatis IgG cases among ectopic pregnancy seen at the University Hospital of Obstetrics Gynecology Befelatanana (CHUGOB) from 01 February to 30 May 2015. Results: During the study period, we recorded 41 cases with a overall rate of ectopic pregnancy of 2.04% when reported to the total number of deliveries. (n: 2347)The average age of patients was 30.50 years with predominance in primiparous (66%). More than half of the patients had at least one risk factor and 90% had a history of abortion induced and spontaneous miscarriage. The frequency of positive Chlamydia trachomatis IgG is 20.83% (n: 10) among which 7 presented pathological fallopian tube. Conclusion: The best way to avoid complications is precocious screening, but the cost of the screening tests remains an obstacle in developing countries like Madagascar.
