“…In women aged 15-24 years, the prevalence increased to 14.2% (95%CI: 10.6-17.8), well above the 9.8% (95%CI: 8.5-11.1) 4 reported in a national sample of pregnant women in this age bracket. Our result is twice the prevalence of 6.9% (95%CI: 3.6-10.2) reported by the national study when the sample was limited to Southern Brazil, where our sample was recruited.…”

“…Foi encontrada uma alta incidência (18%) da infecção urogenital por C. trachomatis em jovens parturientes de uma maternidade de referência de Belém do Pará, o que representa a maior frequência dessa IST em populações de jovens grávidas do Brasil, pois se manteve superior às prevalências identificadas em outras regiões do país, que variaram de 9,4% a 13,9% 7,8,9,10 . A incidência encontrada também é superior a de outros estudos que investigaram a infecção por C. trachomatis em grávidas de diversas regiões no mundo, mostrando prevalências que variaram de 1,1% a 11,1%…”

“…A pesquisa da infecção endocervical por C. trachomatis em estudantes universitárias se faz necessária, pois, apesar de se tratar de uma população de mulheres conhecedoras das medidas de prevenção das IST desde a educação básica, apresenta maior exposição aos fatores de risco comportamentais 20,21,22,23 . Os objetivos deste estudo foram demonstrar a prevalência da infecção endocervical por C. trachomatis em estudantes de uma universidade da capital e de três de seus campi do interior do estado do Pará, Amazônia, Brasil, e investigar a sua associação com características sociodemográficas,comportamentais e de queixa ginecológica dessa população.…”
