| Chlamydia trachomatis is recognized as the leading agent of sexually-transmitted disease worldwide. Although only 30% of the states designate Chlamydia a reportable disease, in the U.S. more than four million new cases of Chlamydia infection are reported annually. The asymptomatic nature of a large proportion of chlamydial infections leads to underdiagnosis and consequent health problems. Approximately 75% of infections in females and 50% of male infections are asymptomatic. Women are the most severely affected due to the correlation between untreated Chlamydia infection and ectopic pregnancy and infertility. Rapid detection and diagnosis of chlamydial infection is critical in controlling not only the spread of disease but also the devastating sequelae. Partner evaluation to prevent reinfection is also an important aspect of controlling spread of the disease. This can easily be done through a GC Chlamydia STD test. Includes: Examination for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae by nucleic acid amplification technology. Patient Instructions: First void urine (patient should not have urinated for 1 hour prior to specimen collection). Estimated turnaround for results is 3 business days. |
