AB  - <I>Chlamydia trachomatis </I>is now one of the prevalent bacteria found in classic Sexually Transmissible Diseases (STD) and as such, constitutes a serious public health problem. <I>Chlamydia trachomatis </I>infections are known to manifest in a variety of syndromes in both men and women when left undiagnosed and untreated. While the clinical presentations in men include urethritis, epididymitis, etc., women suffer more serious complications such as mucopurulent cervicitis, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy and tubal infertility.  It  is  important that in the most cases infection with these bacteria is asymptomatic. In this study from  145  women  with  abortion  and  75  healthy  women  (control  group), endocervical samples were obtained. After collection of samples and patients records, samples DNA were extracted and PCR test with <I>Chlamydia trachomatis </I>specific primers (KL1, KL2) that based on amplification of 241bp Chlamydia trachomatis fragmant  were  done  and  PCR  product  electrophoresis  on  agarose  gel. From 145 women with abortion in 31  (21.37%) and in healthy women (control group) from 75 women in 3 (4%) <I>Chlamydia trachomatis </I>were detected, which difference is significant (p< 0.05). Women with positive PCR test were in 35-40 age and have a multi abortion.<I> Chlamydia trachomatis </I>one of the bacteria that causes many genital disorders. It is important that, although effect of these bacteria confirm on different genital disease, but mechanism of abortion and infertility that produce is unclear. According the results detection of these bacteria in women with abortion and infertile women can be important.
