“…Analysis of the results verified that 4.4% of men had both infections. The coinfection rate obtained was consistent with the results of previous studies conducted among the male population in Brazil 11,12 and other countries 8,14 .…”

“…Since male gonococcal infections are largely symptomatic 15 , diagnostic testing, rather than routine screening, has been the recommended disease control strategy, and national disease rates in men reflect mainly symptomatic infection. Although there is evidence that asymptomatic gonococcal infections in heterosexual men may contribute disproportionately to disease transmission to women 14 , relatively few studies have measured the prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection among asymptomatic men 9,16,17 . Regarding C. trachomatis infection, the rate of asymptomatic infection is higher 18 .…”

“…A couple study by Khan et al [20] found that 11% of partners of persons infected with CT or GC also had TV. Stekler et al [5] found that if EPT was administered to heterosexual persons in Seattle, the potential for 0.4% of HIV and 0.7% of syphilis would be missed and that 10% of CT and GC would be missed among women receiving EPT for TV.…”

To date, seven randomized trials have evaluated the efficacy of expedited partner treatment (EPT). These trials have included heterosexual men and women and examine EPT for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoea, and Trichomonas vaginalis. These studies demonstrated either superiority for percentage of partners being treated, for a reduction in repeat infections, or cost benefit for EPT compared to the standard partner referral method and reported no adverse events. In the United States, although the number of states where EPT is legal continues to grow, adoption of EPT remains low. Provider concerns about liability and payment issues continue to be a barrier to implementation of EPT. More translational research is needed to improve adoption by the players involved: index patients, partners, providers, and payers.

“…Igazolt Chlamydia urethritis esetében az után-követés, illetve ismételt kórokozó-kimutatás minden esetben szükséges, tekintettel a tünetmentes hordozás lehetőségére. A gyakori reinfekciók, illetve a nők hosszú távú szövődményeinek tekintetében az ajánlás szerint nőknél 3-4 hónappal az antibiotikumkúrát követően ismételt diagnosztikus vizsgálat végzése tanácsolt [19,20,21,22,23,24].…”

Az urogenitalis traktus szexuális úton közvetített infekcióinak világszerte leggyakoribb kórokozója a Chlamydia trachomatis, amely egy intracelluláris baktérium. Férfi aknál urethritis, míg nőknél az urethritis mellett leggyakrabban endocervicitis klinikai képét eredményezi. Mivel nőkben a fertőzés igen gyakran kifejezetten tünetszegény vagy aszimptomatikus, az egyik legfontosabb késői szövődményként kismedencei gyulladás, illetve a krónikus hegesedések kialakulásával infertilitás jelentkezhet. A fertőzés terjedésének és a nemkívánatos komplikációk kialakulásának megelőzésében meghatározó jelentőséget tulajdonítanak a szűrővizsgálatok bevezetésének. Az alkalmazott antibiotikus terápia megválasztását speciális tényezők, mint például várandósság vagy egyes szövődményes formák befolyásolhat-ják. A szerzők áttekintik a fertőzéssel kapcsolatos jelen ismereteket, összefoglalják többek között a jellegzetes klinikai megjelenési formákat, a rendelkezésre álló korszerű diagnosztikus lehetőségeket, csakúgy, mint az elfogadott kezelé-si protokollt és a szűrés alapvető aspektusait. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(1), 19-23. Kulcsszavak: Chlamydia trachomatis, nongonorrhoeás urethritis, cervicitis, kismedencei gyulladás -PID Genitourethral infections caused by D-K serotypes of Chlamydia trachomatisSexually transmitted infections of the urogenital tract are most commonly caused by the intracellular bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis worldwide, resulting the clinical picture of acute urethritis in men as well as urethritis and endocervicitis in women. As women often present with few symptoms only or a completely symptom-free disease course, one of the most important long-term complications is chronic pelvic infl ammatory disease often followed by the development of infertility caused by chronic scar formation. Well-organized screening programs are considered to have a leading role in the prevention of disease spreading and long lasting unwanted complications. Antibiotic treatment options are often infl uenced by special circumstances, such as pregnancy and several complicated clinical forms. The aims of the authors are to give a concise review on the current knowledge regarding Chlamydia trachomatis infections and summarize typical clinical signs, modern diagnostic techniques as well as accepted treatment protocols and basic aspects of screening.Keywords: Chlamydia trachomatis, non gonorrheal urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic infl ammatory disease -PID Holló, P., Jókai, H., Herszényi, K., Kárpáti, S.
