Abstract

Abstract: We performed a seroepidemiologic study of sera from children in Brooklyn, New York, before and after the implementation of prenatal chlamydial screening almost 20% of children aged ≤10 years in the prescreening group had anti- Chlamydia trachomatis immunoglobulin G compared with none in the postscreening group.
