Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are prevalent causes of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) globally, leading to substantial morbidity and transmission risks.
METHODS: This study evaluates the diagnostic efficacy of Xpert CT/NG compared to conventional PCR and culture methods in 121 patients at a tertiary care centre in North India.
RESULTS: Xpert CT/NG demonstrated high sensitivity (85.8%) and specificity (96.3%) outperforming conventional PCR. Xpert CT/NG's rapidity and accuracy underscore its utility in timely diagnosis and control of STIs.
CONCLUSION: As sexually transmitted infections pose a serious health concern implementation of such rapid diagnostic methods/point of care testing methods are to be implemented for early diagnosis.
