Contact tracing is one of the measures used to control genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections.
To assess important variables of contact tracing in an everyday clinical setting.
Patients reported according to the STD Act were studied in a prospective, consecutive county-based study.
A total of 149 patients had a mean of 2.2 partners. The social worker's patients reported significantly more partners than the physicians' patients. The median number of patients at the 26 involved institutions was 3. Treatment without a prior examination was prescribed to 4% of the partners; 95% of all notified partners were examined, and a majority of them were chlamydia-infected.
The requirements of the STD Act in Sweden are being followed reasonably well by health providers responsible for contact tracing, although an experienced social worker seems to get better results.
接触者追踪是用于控制沙眼衣原体生殖器感染的措施之一。
评估日常临床环境中接触者追踪的重要变量。
在一项基于县的前瞻性连续研究中，对根据性传播疾病法案报告的患者进行了研究。
共有149名患者，平均有2.2个性伴侣。社会工作者的患者报告的性伴侣明显多于医生的患者。26家参与机构的患者中位数为3名。4%的性伴侣在未事先检查的情况下就被开药治疗；所有被通知的性伴侣中有95%接受了检查，其中大多数感染了衣原体。
负责接触者追踪的医疗服务提供者相当好地遵循了瑞典性传播疾病法案的要求，尽管经验丰富的社会工作者似乎能取得更好的结果。
