Two studies were conducted to determine the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis in the urine and cervical exudates of women with genitourinary symptoms. In the first study, 873 women attending the World Health Organization-Sexually Transmitted Disease Center of the Alfred Fournier Institute, in Paris, were examined. In 7% of these women, culture results were positive for the presence of C trachomatis. Women with C trachomatis in the urethra had more polymorphonuclear cells in the urine than did those with C trachomatis in the cervix (P less than 0.001). The second study at the same center involved 180 women with vaginal or urethral signs and symptoms. Positive cultures for C trachomatis were found in 12% of the 140 women reporting vaginal problems and in 22% of the 40 women reporting urinary symptoms. Cell cultures from both the cervix and urethra were positive for C trachomatis in 1.4% of the women with vaginal signs and symptoms and in 2.5% of the women with urinary symptoms. These data support the value of urethral cultures for detecting C trachomatis in women with genitourinary symptoms.
开展了两项研究以确定患有泌尿生殖系统症状的女性尿液和宫颈分泌物中沙眼衣原体的流行情况。在第一项研究中，对873名前往巴黎阿尔弗雷德·富尼耶研究所世界卫生组织性传播疾病中心就诊的女性进行了检查。在这些女性中，7%的培养结果显示沙眼衣原体呈阳性。尿道中有沙眼衣原体的女性尿液中的多形核细胞比宫颈中有沙眼衣原体的女性更多（P<0.001）。在同一中心进行的第二项研究涉及180名有阴道或尿道体征和症状的女性。在报告有阴道问题的140名女性中，12%的沙眼衣原体培养结果呈阳性；在报告有泌尿系统症状的40名女性中，22%的培养结果呈阳性。有阴道体征和症状的女性中，1.4%的宫颈和尿道细胞培养沙眼衣原体呈阳性；有泌尿系统症状的女性中，2.5%的宫颈和尿道细胞培养沙眼衣原体呈阳性。这些数据支持了尿道培养对于检测患有泌尿生殖系统症状女性沙眼衣原体的价值。
