- Abstract
<em>Chlamydia trachomatis</em> as an etiological agent in the Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome has recently been reported; however, the condition has not been typically associated with ascites. We report a case of <em>Chlamydia trachomatis</em> perihepatitis in a young woman who had exudative ascites as a predominant clinical feature of her disease. Laparoscopy revealed characteristic "violin string" adhesions which were also identified on abdominal computerized tomographic scan.
