Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Assessment of clinical management of Chlamydia trachomatis genital tract infection was made, with particular regard to the UK National Guideline. Questionnaires for self-completion, mailed to lead clinicians in 31 Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) clinics in the North Thames Region between May and June 1999, focused on policies and practice. Audit of actual management of up to 10 most recent cases (5 male and 5 female) attending each clinic within the past 2 years was also undertaken. Twenty-two units (71% response) completed the survey questionnaire and 23 units (74% response) audited a total of 229 cases (males=108, females=118, sex not stated=3). Findings indicate that GUM clinics are managing these infections largely as recommended in the national guideline. Nucleic acid amplification techniques will supersede established diagnostic tests for GUM clinics in North Thames, increasing costs for the service, but also sensitivity of detection. |
