Alarming incidence of reinfections after treatment for Chlamydia trachomatis and gonorrhoea: Can we predict and prevent them?

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections are a public health problem, worsened by frequent reinfections, whose incidence rate is not known in Spain. The objective of this study is to estimate in patients diagnosed with NG, CT or mixed infection (NG and CT): (1) the incidence of reinfections by the same microorganism, (2) the total incidence of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI), both by the same microorganism and by infections other than the initial one, and (3) to identify predictors of reinfection.

Methods: Observational prospective case series involving 986 patients with CT and/or NG at specialized STI clinics in Biscay (Spain) between 2016 and 2019.

Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of Chlamydia trachomatis infection among sexually transmitted infection clinics patients.

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections are a public health problem because of its high incidence and consequences on reproductive health. Our aim is to describe the socio-demographic, behavioral and clinical characteristics of patients with CT infection in order to adapt preventive interventions for the highest risk groups.

Methods: Prospective case series of all patients diagnosed with CT between September 2016 and January 2019 in the reference STI clinics of Osakidetza (Basque Health Service) in Bizkaia (Spain).

Chlamydia trachomatis re-infection in Spain: A STI clinic-based cohort study.

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) is the most frequently reported sexually transmitted infection (STI) in developed countries, but there is a lack data on its incidence and population dynamics in Spain. The objectives of this study were to estimate the incidence of C.
