Male university students were studied to evaluate the merit of routine screening for chlamydia urethritis. Two hundred fourteen sexually active male students answered a questionnaire about symptoms of urethritis and exposure to and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). All subjects were screened for chlamydia by enzyme immunoassay (Chlamydiazyme, Abbott Laboratories). Overall, Chlamydiazyme was positive in 42 of 214 subjects (19.6%). Eighty-six subjects had no symptoms and no history of untreated exposure to STD; 6 of these had positive Chlamydiazyme assays. Based on our results, we conclude that the proportion of male urethral chlamydia infections that are asymptomatic may be much higher than has previously been believed. We further conclude that asymptomatic sexually active male students on this campus are a high-risk population for whom routine chlamydia screening is appropriate.
对男大学生进行了研究，以评估常规筛查衣原体尿道炎的价值。214名有性活动的男学生回答了一份关于尿道炎症状以及性传播疾病（STD）暴露和治疗情况的问卷。所有受试者均通过酶免疫测定法（衣原体酶检测试剂盒，雅培实验室）进行衣原体筛查。总体而言，214名受试者中有42名（19.6%）衣原体酶检测呈阳性。86名受试者没有症状且无未经治疗的性传播疾病暴露史；其中6名衣原体酶检测呈阳性。根据我们的结果，我们得出结论，男性尿道衣原体感染无症状的比例可能比之前认为的要高得多。我们进一步得出结论，该校园中有性活动的无症状男学生是常规衣原体筛查的高危人群。
