Abstract

Chlamydial cervicitis and salpingitis are being increasingly diagnosed and reported, but chlamydial proctitis is an unusual problem to be found in gynecologic practice. In the reported patient who gave a history of rectal intercourse and presented with a symptomatic vaginal mass, a diagnosis of chlamydial proctitis was made on the basis of biopsy histology, specific monoclonal antibody-immunoperoxidase chlamydia assay, and response to doxycycline therapy.
