Objective. To establish the prevalence of chlamydial infection of the upper respiratory tract and the features of its manifestation in different populations.
Subjects and methods. A total of 1329 patients were surveyed. Two chlamydia species, such as Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydophila pneumoniae, were identified by a set of laboratory diagnostic techniques (direct immunofluorescence assay, enzyme assay, and polymerase chain reaction).
Results. The species-specific structure of the identified chlamydiae was investigated in relation to the age and sex of the surveyed patients; there was evidence for the high prevalence of chlamydial infection in patients with acute and chronic inflammatory diseases of the nose, paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx.
Conclusion. Chlamydial infection of the upper respiratory tract leads to the more frequent occurrence of ENT diseases due to the prevalence of acute and chronic diseases in children and to that of chronic diseases in adults.
Keywords: respiratory chlamydiosis, upper respiratory tract, chlamydial infection
