Two hundred and ten adolescent girls in residential care with an age range of 12 to 16 years were screened for sexually transmitted infections. The incidences of infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Trichomonas vaginalis were 13.7%, 16.2%, and 16.0% respectively. Pelvic inflammatory disease was identified in 16.4% of those with C trachomatis or gonococcal infection. The high morbidity from sexually transmitted disease in these adolescent girls reinforces the need for screening similar at risk teenagers.
对210名年龄在12至16岁的寄宿照料中的青春期女孩进行了性传播感染筛查。淋病奈瑟菌、沙眼衣原体和阴道毛滴虫的感染率分别为13.7%、16.2%和16.0%。在沙眼衣原体或淋球菌感染的患者中，16.4%被诊断为盆腔炎。这些青春期女孩性传播疾病的高发病率凸显了对类似高危青少年进行筛查的必要性。
