Table 2 Detection of C. trachomatis positivity in study population by PCR, ELISA and Western blot

Note Table shows the number of patients who were positive for tests mentioned. Values in parenthesis denote percentage unless otherwise stated.
^a P = 0.029 as compared to GIII; ^b P = 0.010 as compared to GIII; ^c P = 0.007 as compared to GIII;^d P = NS as compared to GIII; ^e P = NS as compared to GIII; ^f P = 0.007 as compared to GIII, ^g P = 0.006 as compared to GIII; ^m P < 0.05 as compared to corresponding GI where,
Group I (GI) comprised of healthy women with no CT infection, Group II (GII) comprised of CT-positive fertile women, Group III (GIII) comprised of CT-positive infertile women. All categorical variables were compared using the χ² test.
