Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Increased testing rates for Chlamydia infection among young women can be achieved by more use of self-administered sampling methods. In this study, vulval swabs and urine are compared to conventional cervix samples.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Vulval swabs, urine and cervix samples from 541 young, healthy women were tested for Chlamydia by polymerase chain reaction technique.
RESULTS: The prevalence of Chlamydia infection was 4.1% (22/541). The sensitivity (cervix 22/22, urine 21/22 and vulva 21/22) and specificity (no false negative results) were high for all sampling sites.
INTERPRETATION: Urine samples or vulval swabs can replace conventional cervix swabs for the detection of Chlamydia.
