There were one hundred and one (101) live births and eleven (11) stillbirths. Of the 101 live births, two (2) of the cord bloods were CT DNA positive whereas nine (9) of the eleven (11) stillbirths were cord blood positive for CT DNA. The two (2) neonates with cord blood positive for CT DNA developed early onset neonatal sepsis. There is therefore, a strong evidence that trans-placental CT infection is associated with stillbirth P< 0.001; OR, 38.5 ; 95% CI (6.91 – 412.3).
