Abstract: Forty-five urogenital spedments taken from patients suspected suffering from gonorrhea,by smears for gonococci,were examined for detection of chlamydia and gonococci in our STD clinic. The results showed that all of the specimens were positive for gonococci. of the 45 specimens, 7 were positive for chlamydia by cell culture and the prevalence was 15.6%. The results also indicated that the predisposing factors for chlamydial coinfection in patients with gonorrhea were multiple sexual partners and previous STD evidence.

Key words: Gonorrhea, Chlamydia trachomatis
