To know the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis in a population attending a Family Planning Center, as well as the distribution of said prevalence in relationship with different variables.This was a prevalence study, population-based. So all females over 14 years old who consulted the Planning Center were admitted into the study. We used enzyme-immune assay and DNA probe to identify the microorganism. The statistical analysis used chi 2 and Fisher's exact test when needed. For the confidence intervals, Cornfield's test was used.Of the 2,408 female who participated in the study we found a prevalence of 5.1% this percentage was even higher on the 15 to 21 years old segment: 7.47% p0.05. Being single and belonging to the group of non-qualify workers yielded a relative risk of 1.49 and 1.66 respectively.The prevalence we have found is higher to the one found in different publications in our country, a study to determine Chlamydia trachomatis should be performed in all sexually active women between 15 and 30 years old. |
