In a prospective study of unselected, female patients attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic one in eight patients would have been errouneously declared free of infection in the absence of a chlamydial culture service. Chlamydia trachomatis is now accepted as a causative organism of non-specific urethritis and post-gonococcal urethritis in men and non-specific genital infection in women. Thus, facilities for isolation of C. trachomatis should be an essential aid in the management of women attending STD clinics. Male patients would also benefit if such facilities were readily available.
在一项针对一家性传播疾病诊所未经过挑选的女性患者的前瞻性研究中,如果没有衣原体培养服务,八分之一的患者会被错误地判定没有感染。沙眼衣原体现在被公认为男性非特异性尿道炎和淋菌性尿道炎后尿道炎以及女性非特异性生殖器感染的病原体。因此,分离沙眼衣原体的设施应该是管理前往性传播疾病诊所就诊女性的重要辅助手段。如果有这样的设施,男性患者也会从中受益。
