“…Consequently, the algorithm based on vaginal discharge syndrome has a low sensitivity (30%-80%) and specificity (40%-80%) for N gonorrhoeae and C trachomatis among pregnant women. [55][56][57] Syndromic management has slightly higher sensitivity for T vaginalis (54%-83%) and bacterial vaginosis (51%-69%), with moderate specificity (40%-54% for T vaginalis and 40%-58% for bacterial vaginosis). 58 In addition, potential new directions for the antenatal care package have been suggested, including use of novel drugs and rapid diagnostic tests.…”

Abstract. The study attempts to define socioeconomic, clinical, and laboratory correlates in vaginitis and other sexually transmitted infections in rural southwestern Haiti. A convenience sample of subjects recruited from a rural women's health clinic and attending an established clinic at the Haitian Health Foundation (HHF) clinic was studied. A standardized history and physical examination, including speculum examination, and collection of blood, urine, and vaginal swabs were obtained from the women at the rural clinic. Additional vaginal swab samples only for Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) testing were obtained from women at the HHF clinic in Jé ré mie. Laboratory results from Leon subjects were positive for Gardnerella vaginalis in 41% (41 of 100), Trichomonas vaginalis in 13.5% (14 of 104), Candida sp. in 9% (9 of 100), Mycoplasma genitalium in 6.7% (7 of 104), Chlamydia trachomatis in 1.9% (2 of 104), and Neisseria gonorrhea in 1% (1 of 104) of patients. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody tests were negative in 100% (103 of 103) of patients, and syphilis antibody testing was positive for treponemal antibodies in 7.7% (8 of 104) patients. For subjects from the HHF, 19.9% were positive for T. vaginalis, 11.9% were positive for C. trachomatis, 10.1% were positive for M. genitalium, and 4.1% were positive for N. gonorrhea. Infections with G. vaginalis, T. vaginalis, and Candida were the most common. N. gonorrhea, C. trachomatis, Candida sp., T. vaginalis, and M. genitalium infections were associated with younger age (less than 31 years old).

“…En este estudio se encontró, entre las PR de la ciudad de Durango, una prevalencia de infección por C. trachomatis de 16.6%, la cual es más baja que la notificada en prostitutas de la ciudad de México (20%, en 1997), 26 y de otras partes del mundo, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] y es más alta que la prevalencia registrada en Michoacán, Puebla, Veracruz e Hidalgo (12.9% en 1990). 24 Sin embargo, esta comparación debe tomarse con reservas, ya que se utilizaron métodos diagnósticos diferentes.…”

Objective. To determine the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection among registered prostitutes of Durango City and to establish whether there is a correlation between epidemiological factors and infection. Material and methods. Two-hundred-and-forty-seven registered prostitutes of Durango city were studied. Endocervical samples and epidemiological data were obtained. C. trachomatis antigen was detected with the Chlamydiazyme test (Abbott Laboratories, USA.) Results. Forty-one (16.6%) out of 247 prostitutes were positive to C. trachomatis. Thirty-seven out of the 41 positive women had had sexual activity on several States of Mexico (95.1%), as compared to only 109 out of 206 negative women (53.0%) (p<.0001). Prostitutes positive to C. trachomatis (39/41, 95.1%) were more likely to belong to low socioeconomic level than negatives (171/206, 83%) (p=0.05). Conclusions. The prevalence of C. trachomatis infection was 16.6%. C. trachomatis infection was associated with sexual activity in multiple States of Mexico, and had a tendency to be associated with low socioeconomic level.
