摘要: Background:  In Australia, reported rates of Chlamydia trachomatis infection have been rising progressively since the mid-1990s. Opportunistic testing sexually active young women attending clinical services for other reasons has already implemented in a number countries. Aims:  To help guide chlamydia women, this study aimed to establish factors predictive chlamydial an Australian setting. Methods:  Women sexual health service Sydney who tested positive C. by polymerase chain reaction and did not any concurrent urogenital infections (n = 170) were compared with chlamydia-negative controls (n = 170). Factors independently associated determined using logistic regression. Results:  Although they present only minority infected symptoms dysuria [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.2 (95% CI: 1.2–9.1), P = 0.03] postcoital bleeding [AOR = 2.7 1.0–7.1), P < 0.05] each chlamydia. Symptoms vaginal discharge (P = 0.3), abdominal pain (P = 0.2), or intermenstrual (P = 0.1) discriminate between uninfected women. The following chlamydia: younger age (P = 0.003); being overseas-born [AOR = 2.3 1.3–4.0), P = 0.005]; sex partner from overseas [AOR = 2.0 1.3–12.3), P = 0.01]; known suspected be chlamydia-infected [AOR = 7.4 3.6–15.0), P < 0.001]. Conclusions:  is clinically indicated dysuria, contact partner. Consideration should given enhanced screening programs travelling migrant men cities.
