Abstract In an urban clinic for sexually-transmitted diseases, 270 women with cervical swabs culture positive for Chlamydia trachomatis were treated with 250 mg oxytetracycline orally four times daily for 7 days. Chlamydial infection was found again in 17 of 220 (7.3 %) women examined one month after treatment, and in 12 of 113 (9.7 %) women reexaminee three months after treatment. Even in cases where reinfection seemed unlikely, only 177 of 198 (89 %) were cured. Most post-treatment infections were not clinically apparent, and laboratory follow-up was essential for evaluation of chemotherapy.
