Introduction: Chlamydia trachomatis is a pathogenic bacterium commonly reported as cause of infections of the urogenital tract. Methods: This study determined the frequency of C. trachomatis infection using real-time PCR. Two hundred urine samples from women in reproductive which have attended at Carlos Andrade Marín Hospital. In order to test the samples, a commercial kit that identifies the criptic plasmid and the ompA gene from C. trachomatis was used. Results: From the 200 samples, three were positive that corresponed to a frequency of 1.5%. All positive cases were found within the group of 25 and 26 years old. Discussion: The results obtained in this research are comparable with similar studies obtained in several Latin American countries in low risk population.
