INTRODUCTION: The incidence of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection has increased in recent years, especially in young women, and can have significant consequences for their sexual and reproductive health.
METHODS: Between February/2017-June/2017, screening for CT infection was offered to women aged 18-35 years who attended the Midwife/Gynecology clinic at Mendaro Hospital (Gipuzkoa), and it was extended between September/2017-February/2021 in those aged 18-25. After providing consent, a clinical-epidemiological survey was completed and a genital sample was obtained. CT was detected using a commercial PCR technique.
RESULTS: A total of 558 women were studied: 412 aged 18-25 years and 146 aged 26-35 years. The prevalence of infection was 7.3% (95%CI 5.4-9.9%), 9.0% in those aged ≤25 years and 2.7% in those older than 25 (p = 0.013). The prevalence was higher in symptomatic women, with more sexual partners, and inconsistent condom use.
CONCLUSION: The high prevalence of CT infection in women aged ≤25 years indicates the need to implement screening strategies to prevent the consequences of infection and its transmission.
