The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend considering screening asymptomatic women for trichomonas in high-prevalence settings. Whether urban abortion clinics constitute such a setting is unknown.
We offered trichomonas screening to patients presenting for abortion from October 2018 to February 2019 as a practice improvement and conducted a chart review.
Ninety-two percent (593/644) of patients underwent testing. Trichomonas prevalence was 10.0% (95% CI 7.7-12.6). Ninety five percent of patients diagnosed were treated. Testing only symptomatic patients would have missed 98% of infections.
Trichomonas was highly prevalent, and universal testing and treatment was feasible in an urban abortion clinic.
疾病控制与预防中心建议在高感染率地区考虑对无症状女性进行滴虫筛查。但尚不清楚城市堕胎诊所是否属于这种环境。
我们在 2018 年 10 月至 2019 年 2 月期间为前来堕胎的患者提供了滴虫筛查,作为一项实践改进措施,并进行了病历回顾。
92%(593/644)的患者接受了检测。滴虫感染率为 10.0%(95%CI7.7-12.6)。诊断出的患者中有 95%接受了治疗。仅对有症状的患者进行检测,将错过 98%的感染。
滴虫病的感染率很高,在城市堕胎诊所进行普遍检测和治疗是可行的。
