Between 1 January and 31 March 2001, 372 cases of genital chlamydial infection were notified to STD Services. This compares with a range of 233 to 275 notifications per quarter during 2000. Greater than the expected number of reports were received from Clinic 275 and from other metropolitan medical officers. One hundred and sixty three cases (44%) occurred in males and 209 (56%) in females (Table 4.1)

Males and females aged less than 30 years accounted for 75% and 90% of cases of genital chlamydial infection, respectively (Table 4.1). The racial origin of 296 cases (80%) was reported as Caucasian (Table 4.2). The infection was reported as being acquired in South Australia for 310 cases (83%), consistent with the range seen in previous quarters (81-87%).The number of laboratory tests for genital chlamydia performed during this quarter is shown in Table 4.3.
