Urine samples from 358 asymptomatic males were screened for urethral inflammation by the leukocyte esterase (LE) test and for Chlamydia trachomatis by the ligase chain reaction (LCR). LE and LCR positivity rates were 7.5% (27 of 358 samples) and 2.8% (10 of 358 samples), respectively. Eight of the 10 LCR-positive samples were detected by the LE screening test. The urine LE prescreening test in combination with the LCR assay may be a reasonable approach for genitourinary chlamydial disease control.
通过白细胞酯酶(LE)试验对358名无症状男性的尿液样本进行尿道炎症筛查,并通过连接酶链反应(LCR)检测沙眼衣原体。LE和LCR阳性率分别为7.5%(358份样本中的27份)和2.8%(358份样本中的10份)。10份LCR阳性样本中有8份通过LE筛查试验检测到。尿液LE预筛查试验与LCR检测相结合可能是控制泌尿生殖道衣原体疾病的合理方法。
