In a prospective study of morbidity associated with C. trachomatis infections during pregnancy, C. trachomatis was isolated from the endocervix of 18 (6.7%) of 268 women examined before 19 wk gestation. Infected women were significantly younger than noninfected women, and significantly more often unmarried, supported by public assistance and pregnant for the 1st time. Among women followed up from 19 wk gestation until delivery, the mean duration of gestation was significantly shorter for those with antepartum chlamydial infection. Stillbirth or neonatal death occurred in 6 (33%) of the 18 pregnancies of infected women compared with 8 (3.4%) of the 238 pregnancies of noninfected women followed up from the 19th wk of gestation through delivery. Stillbirth or neonatal death occurred 10 times more often among Chlamydia-infected women than among uninfected controls matched for age, marital status, socioeconomic status, pregnancy order and race.
