AB  - We conducted a retrospective seroepidemiological study to evaluate the 
      relationship between past chlamydial infection and primary fallopian tube 
      carcinoma (PFTC). Postoperative serum samples were drawn from 79 consecutive 
      patients treated for PFTC in 1985-2000. For each case two controls were selected. 
      Serum samples were analysed for IgG antibodies to different C. trachomatis 
      serotype pools and to C. pneumoniae. Seropositivity in general or serum antibody 
      levels to different C. trachomatis serovars or C. pneumoniae did not differ 
      between PFTC patients and controls. The lack of association between 
      anti-chlamydial antibodies and PFTC suggests that past chlamydial infection does 
      not play a role in the etiopathogenesis of PFTC. However, because chlamydial 
      infection is common at young age and PFTC develops decades later, we cannot 
      definitively exclude the possibility that C.trachomatis contributes to the 
      development of PFTC.
