During the third quarter of 2000, 230 cases of genital chlamydial infection were notified. The expected number of notifications for this period is 224, based on data for the year 1995-1999 (Table 4.1).

The racial origin was reported as Caucasian for 180 (78%) cases (Table 4.2). Genital chlamydial infection was recorded as being acquired in South Australia for 187 (81%) cases. Among the 89 infections detected in males, three cases reported male-to-male sex.
