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.
Vulval swabs, urine and cervix samples from 541 young, healthy women were tested for Chlamydia by polymerase chain reaction technique.
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.
Urine samples or vulval swabs can replace conventional cervix swabs for the detection of Chlamydia.
通过更多地使用自我采样方法，可以提高年轻女性衣原体感染的检测率。在本研究中，对外阴拭子和尿液与传统宫颈样本进行了比较。
采用聚合酶链反应技术对541名年轻健康女性的外阴拭子、尿液和宫颈样本进行衣原体检测。
衣原体感染率为4.1%（22/541）。所有采样部位的敏感性（宫颈22/22、尿液21/22、外阴21/22）和特异性（无假阴性结果）均较高。
尿液样本或外阴拭子可替代传统宫颈拭子用于衣原体检测。
