description Introduction: The presence of C. trachomatis in pregnant women can cause premature rupture of membranes, postpartum endometritis and preterm birth. Clinical diagnosis is more difficult among those who have an asymptomatic infection.Objective: know the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis in pregnant women in their first trimester and to detect if there are any factors associated with this bacterium.Material and methods: Prospective, descriptive, cross sectional and correlational study performed at Clínica Universitaria Reina Fabiola, in Córdoba, between October 2016 and April 2017. C. trachomatis was detected through the Real Time PCR technique in first void urine samples.Results: 350 pregnant women were studied. The global prevalence was of 2% with a 13,3% in women under 25 years old (p< 0,001). A similar pattern was observed with respect to the educational level, with a higher prevalence on those who only had primary education, 18,2% (p<0.001); in women who presented a low gynecological sign or symptom 6,8% (p< 0,001) and in those patients whose sexual initiation was before 18 years old,  3,3% (p< 0,030). .Conclusion: It is advisable to implement C. trachomatis screening as part of the pre natal screening in all pregnant women under 25 years old. Argentinian health care system should take this problem into account in order to achieve a rational control over the infections caused by this bacterium.

Introducción: En las embarazadas, la presencia de C. trachomatis puede provocar ruptura prematura de membranas, endometritis puerperales y  partos prematuros. El curso asintomático de la infección hace más difícil su diagnóstico clínico. Los objetivos fueron conocer la prevalencia de Chlamydia trachomatis en las embarazadas que cursan su primer trimestre y determinar si existen factores asociados a la presencia de dicha bacteria. Material y métodos: Estudio  prospectivo, descriptivo, transversal y correlacional, realizado en la Clínica Universitaria Reina Fabiola, Córdoba, Argentina desde octubre 2016 hasta abril 2017. La detección de C. trachomatis se realizó por técnica de Real Time PCR en una muestra de primer chorro de orina. Resultados: se estudiaron 350 embarazadas. La prevalencia global fue del 2%, con un 13,3% en las menores de 25 años (p< 0,001). La misma observación se notó con respecto al nivel educativo, con una prevalencia superior en las que tenían sólo educación primaria, 18,2% (p<0.001), en las mujeres que presentaron algún signo o síntoma ginecológico bajo, 6,8% (p< 0,001) y en aquellas pacientes cuyo inicio de la actividad sexual fue antes de los 18 años,  3,3% (p< 0,030). . Conclusión: A la luz de estos hallazgos se sugiere realizar la búsqueda de C. trachomatis como parte del screening prenatal en todas las mujeres  embarazadas menores de 25 años. El sistema de salud argentino debería tomar en cuenta esta problemática para lograr un control racional de las infecciones causadas por esta bacteria. Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
