Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized tool for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis in a family planning population, estimating its prevalence among consultations at an abortion center.
- The research involved a prospective observational study of 386 women, where a cervix sample was taken after a standardized questionnaire assessing clinical signs, and the samples were analyzed genetically.
- Results showed a 14.5% infection rate; the questionnaire was notably effective, particularly when all four clinical signs were present, but nearly half of the infected women displayed no clinical signs.
