Resumo: The prevalence of group - specific antichlamydial IgG in populations from Brazil, England and Portugal was studied using the whole inclusion - indirect immunofluorescence test, and SA2 (f) as antigen. Those sera with the IgG titre &gt; 1:32, were considered to be positive. Among the Brazilian populations, prevalence of chlamydial antibody was higher in Serra Norte (76,2%, p < 0,01) than in Belém (53,6%) and among Xicrins Indians (51,3%). In patients attending the Departament of Genito Urinary Medicine, University College Hospital and in members of the UCH staff, London, England, the prevalence of antichlamydial IgG was 62% and 53,1%, respectively. Antibody to Chlamydia was detected in 54% and 66% of the English women and in 56 and 68% of the Portuguese women attending Antenatal and Infertility Clinics, respectively. These results show a wide exposure to Chlamydia among all the populations tested, mainly among the low socio-economic group of Serra Norte, Brazil. Evidence of chlamydial infections is of the same order in Brazil, England and Portugal.

A prevalência de anticorpos IgG, grupo-específico para Chlamydia, em populações do Brasil, Inglaterra e Portugal foi determinada através do teste de imunofluorescência indireta, tendo-se como antígeno a cepa SA2 (f). Foram considerados positivos os soros com títulos de IgG &gt;1:32. Dentre as populações brasileiras, a prevalência de anticorpos para Chlamydia foi maior em Serra Norte (76,2%, p < 0,01) do que nas das populações de Belém (53,6%) e dos Índios Xicrins (51,3%). Entre os pacientes do Departamento de Medicina Genito-Urinária do University College Hospital (UCH) e do quadro do mesmo Hospital, a prevalência de anticorpos anti-Chlamydia foi de 62% e 53,1%, respectivamente. Anticorpos anti-Chlamydia foram detectados em 54% e 66% na Inglaterra e em 56% e 68% em Portugal, nas pacientes do sexo feminino que freqüentavam Clínicas de Pré-Natal e de Infertilidade, respectivamente, Os resultados encontrados mostram uma alta exposição das populações testadas, à Chlamydia, principalmente do grupo de baixo nível sócio-econômico de Serra Norte, Brasil. A evidência de infecção por Chlamydia é da mesma ordem, tanto no Brasil, quanto na Inglaterra e Portugal. Universidade de São Paulo.
