“…[13] This difference might be associated with the admittance criteria of our study participants as we required that eligible participants had urinary or genital tract symptoms. Nonetheless, our observed prevalence was similar to results reported abroad, slightly higher than that reported in Spain (12.3%), [14] Iran (12.6%), [15] and Mexico (14.2%), [16] and lower than that reported in Ethiopia (18.9%) [17] and Palestine (20.2%). [18] Besides, the fact that many CT infections do not have any related symptoms cannot be ignored.…”

Epidemics of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection among women are major global public health concerns. This study examined the prevalence of CT infection and associated factors among women attending sexually transmitted disease (STD) and gynecology clinics in Jiangsu province, China.A cross-sectional survey was conducted among women attending STD and gynecology clinics in the province during 2018 to 2019. Socio-demographic and behavioral information were collected through face-to-face questionnaire survey. Cervical swab specimens were collected to test for CT. Chi square tests were used to compare differences in CT prevalence between subgroups of characteristics. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with CT infection.A total of 2664 participants were enrolled. The prevalence of CT infection was 16.6% (95% confidence interval: 15.0%–18.1%). Of those, CT prevalence among participants from STD clinics (19.4%) and South Jiangsu (18.5%) were higher. Female outpatients who were service personnel (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.667, P = .004) or farmers (aOR = 1.593, P = .039), lived in South Jiangsu (aOR = 1.796, P = .004), and were from STD clinics (aOR = 1.608, P = .022) were more likely to infect CT.Our study showed a high prevalence of CT infection among women attending STD and gynecology clinics in Jiangsu province, China. CT screening, surveillance and treatment promotion should therefore be of top priority on the CT prevention agenda.

“…Mivel a fertőzések jelentős része aszimptomatikusan zajlik, így a nem diagnosztizált Chlamydia-infekciók jelentősége gyakoriságukban, illetve a hosszú távú szövődmények kialakulásának lehetőségében rejlik [1,2]. Az alábbi ösz-szefoglaló közlemény részletesen ismerteti a fertőzés kialakulásával, klinikai sajátosságaival, valamint a rendelkezésre álló diagnosztikus módszerekkel és kezelési formákkal kapcsolatos legfrissebb tudásanyagot.…”

Az urogenitalis traktus szexuális úton közvetített infekcióinak világszerte leggyakoribb kórokozója a Chlamydia trachomatis, amely egy intracelluláris baktérium. Férfi aknál urethritis, míg nőknél az urethritis mellett leggyakrabban endocervicitis klinikai képét eredményezi. Mivel nőkben a fertőzés igen gyakran kifejezetten tünetszegény vagy aszimptomatikus, az egyik legfontosabb késői szövődményként kismedencei gyulladás, illetve a krónikus hegesedések kialakulásával infertilitás jelentkezhet. A fertőzés terjedésének és a nemkívánatos komplikációk kialakulásának megelőzésében meghatározó jelentőséget tulajdonítanak a szűrővizsgálatok bevezetésének. Az alkalmazott antibiotikus terápia megválasztását speciális tényezők, mint például várandósság vagy egyes szövődményes formák befolyásolhat-ják. A szerzők áttekintik a fertőzéssel kapcsolatos jelen ismereteket, összefoglalják többek között a jellegzetes klinikai megjelenési formákat, a rendelkezésre álló korszerű diagnosztikus lehetőségeket, csakúgy, mint az elfogadott kezelé-si protokollt és a szűrés alapvető aspektusait.

Kulcsszavak: Chlamydia trachomatis, nongonorrhoeás urethritis, cervicitis, kismedencei gyulladás -PID Genitourethral infections caused by D-K serotypes of Chlamydia trachomatisSexually transmitted infections of the urogenital tract are most commonly caused by the intracellular bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis worldwide, resulting the clinical picture of acute urethritis in men as well as urethritis and endocervicitis in women. As women often present with few symptoms only or a completely symptom-free disease course, one of the most important long-term complications is chronic pelvic infl ammatory disease often followed by the development of infertility caused by chronic scar formation. Well-organized screening programs are considered to have a leading role in the prevention of disease spreading and long lasting unwanted complications. Antibiotic treatment options are often infl uenced by special circumstances, such as pregnancy and several complicated clinical forms. The aims of the authors are to give a concise review on the current knowledge regarding Chlamydia trachomatis infections and summarize typical clinical signs, modern diagnostic techniques as well as accepted treatment protocols and basic aspects of screening.Keywords: Chlamydia trachomatis, non gonorrheal urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic infl ammatory disease -PID Holló, P., Jókai, H., Herszényi, K., Kárpáti, S.

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of chlamydial trachomatis (CT) infection and explore its risk factors among patients attending sexual and reproductive health clinics in Shenzhen, China. We collected demographic and clinical information from attendees (aged 18–49). CT and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infection was determined by nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) on self-collected urine specimens. Of 1,938 participants recruited, 10.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.6%-11.0%) tested positive for CT. Prevalence was similar between men (10.6% [85/804]; 95% CI, 9.5%–11.7%) and women (10.1% [115/1134]; 95% CI: 9.2%–11.0%). Being 18–25 years old (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.52; 95%CI:1.35–4.71), never tested for CT before (aOR = 2.42; 95%CI: 1.05–5.61) and infected with NG(aOR = 3.87; 95%CI: 2.10–7.10) were independently associated with CT infection. We found that CT infection is prevalent among patients attending sexual and reproductive health clinics in Shenzhen, China. A comprehensive program including CT screening, surveillance and treatment is urgently needed.
