[Screening of asympthomatic patients for chlamydia trachomatis infection in Sofia]
Abstract:
In order to evaluate the prevalence of Chlamydia infection in asymptomatic patients, 568 materials were analyzed. Analysis were performed among women and men aged 16 - 45 years. The observed prevalence rate is 5.5% and is similar to the prevalence reported for other European countries. Our study demonstrates that the prevalence of asymptomatic Chlamydia infection in Sofia is low.
