Screening for Chlamydia trachomatis among Infertile Women Using PCR Method
Background & objectives: Chlamydia trachomatis is a gram negative bacterium and chlamydia infection, as a curable infection, is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD). With regard to the essential role of chlamydia in infertility, the study of the prevalence of asymptomatic cases is precious. The aim of this study was to determine of the prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis...
متن کاملComparing cost effectiveness of screening women for Chlamydia trachomatis in systematic and opportunistic approaches.
charts in this study was approved by a research ethics committee at Bellevue Hospital. All patients received NVP + EFV at standard doses. The lower limit of quantitation was determined at 50 HIV RNA copies/ml using Roche Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor (RNA) (Roche Diagnostics, Branchburg, NJ, USA). Median baseline values were: viral load 33 900 copies/ml (range 3100–750 000 copies/ml) and CD4+ count 19...

SETTING Women attending youth, family planning, and gynecology clinics. PARTICIPANTS 1000 women and their male sex part...
متن کاملScreening women for chlamydia trachomatis in family planning clinics: the cost-effectiveness of DNA amplification assays.
BACKGROUND Highly sensitive and specific DNA amplification assays are available for use on cervical and urine specimens. These new tests have the potential to identify more chlamydial infections than the commonly used enzyme immunoassay and DNA probe tests, yet they are more expensive. This study sought to assess the cost effectiveness of cell culture, enzyme immunoassay (EIA), DNA probe (Pace ...
متن کاملOverestimation of complication rates in evaluations of Chlamydia trachomatis screening programmes--implications for cost-effectiveness analyses.
BACKGROUND Cost-effectiveness analyses of screening programmes for asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis infection suggest that screening at low prevalences in the population is cost-effective. However, the decision models in these studies are based on assumptions about the risk of complications, which are derived from the literature. Incorrect assumptions may lead to under- or overestimation of t...
