Abstract:
One hundred women aged 20 or younger attending two family planning clinics specifically targeting teenagers were screened for Chlamydia trachomatis using first void urine specimens. An overall prevalence of 6.2 per cent was found, but there was a marked difference between women attending a city centre site (three per cent) and those attending a clinic in a small rural town.
