Fifty-nine men with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection have been studied. Epididymitis was the most common presentation (26) compared with urethritis (8) and prostatitis (9). Only 13 patients gave a history of a urethral discharge. Fifteen of 21 female consorts screened were CT positive and 13 of these were asymptomatic. This demonstrates the major aetiological role of CT in lower genitourinary infection and indicates the importance of screening and treating consorts.
