The reported rates of STI in many eastern European countries have either decreased (syphilis and gonorrhoea in the eastern/Russian regions, gonorrhoea throughout eastern Europe) or been relatively stable (syphilis in the southeastern region, chlamydia throughout eastern Europe), in the past decade, but are still significantly higher than in western Europe. There is a significant east-west geopolitical gradient in reported STI rates throughout eastern Europe (STI rates: Russia/eastern region>>southeastern region>central region). Challenges for STI control include: the need to strengthen public health components of control; improvements in surveillance and improvement, as well as quality assurance, in diagnostic strategies. Gains in STI control may be achieved through greater collaboration and harmonisation of practicss at the European level.

“…Although Domeika et al presented data on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections in Eastern Europe, the prevalence and determinants of chlamydia is still largely unknown in the region [4]. Our aim was to report the prevalence of chlamydia among adolescent females in Hungary, a country that has not been systematically studied regarding CT prevalence.…”

The present guidelines aim to provide comprehensive information regarding the laboratory diagnosis of infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis in East European countries. These recommendations contain important information for laboratory staff working with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and/or STI-related issues. Individual East European countries may be required to make minor national adjustments to these guidelines as a result of lack of accessibility to some reagents or equipment, or laws in a specific country.
