Chlamydia screening among young women under the age of 26 is a measure that has been adopted by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for inclusion in the Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS).
This is because for many infectious diseases including chlamydia, a true gold standard simply does not exist and, as a result, estimation of test performance parameters in the absence of a gold standard is a difficult and challenging task.
Kamel et al (2013) stated that C. trachomatis infection is a worldwide-distributed sexually transmitted infection that may lead to infertility.
These sequelae are unfortunate because C. trachomatis infection is effectively treated with antibiotics. Diagnosis is based on the detection of the microorganism itself, its antigens, or genetic material collected from the lower genital tract, or in some instances, a urine sample.
Most C. trachomatis infections cause no symptoms. Left untreated, C. trachomatis infection can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease in the female, which has emerged as a major cause of tubal factor infertility and ectopic pregnancy in women of childbearing age.
The USPSTF made no recommendation for or against routine screening of asymptomatic, low-risk pregnant women aged 25 years and older for chlamydial infection. The USPSTF found fair evidence that the benefits of screening low-risk pregnant women are small and may not justify the possible harms.
Zhu and colleagues (2016) stated that as whether chlamydia trachomatis infection increases the risk of cervical cancer is controversial in the literature, these investigators performed a meta-analysis. Based on a comprehensive search of publications in the Medline, Cochrane, and Embase databases, these researchers identified and extracted data from all relevant articles examining C. trachomatis infection and the risk of cervical cancer. The quality of each included study was assessed according to the 9-star Newcastle-Ottawa scale. The strength of association between the C. trachomatis and risk of cervical cancer was estimated by odds ratio (OR) and 95 % CIs. A total of 22 studies with 4,291 cervical cancer cases and 7,628 controls were identified. Overall, C. trachomatis was significantly linked to increased cervical cancer risk in prospective studies (OR = 2.21, 95 % CI: 1.88 to 2.61, p < 0.001), as well as in retrospective studies (OR = 2.19, 95 % CI: 1.74 to 2.74, p < 0.001). Additionally, with a multi-variate logistic regression analysis adjusted for HPV and age, C. trachomatis infection was identified as an independent predictor of cervical cancer in 11 studies (OR = 1.76, 95 % CI: 1.03 to 3.01, p = 0.04). Co-infection of human papilloma virus (HPV) and C. trachomatis has a higher risk of cervical cancer (OR = 4.03, 95 % CI: 3.15 to 5.16, p < 0.001). A subgroup analysis based on histological type indicated an elevated risk for both squamous cell carcinoma (OR = 2.21, 95 % CI: 2.00 to 2.45, p < 0.001), and adenocarcinoma (OR = 1.61, 95 % CI: 1.21 to 2.15, p = 0.001), in associated with C. trachomatis. Subgroup analysis by where C. trachomatis infection was detected showed a significantly higher risk of cervical cancer associated with C. trachomatis infection detected in serum (OR = 2.20, 95 % CI: 2.01 to 2.42, p < 0.001), cervical tissue blocks (OR = 2.88, 95 % CI: 1.21 to 6.83, p = 0.02), and cervical secretion (OR = 2.71, 95 % CI: 1.41 to 5.20, p = 0.003), especially in serum with no obvious heterogeneity. The authors concluded that these novel data demonstrated that individuals infected with C. trachomatis have a higher risk of cervical cancer. Thus, it is necessary to expand C. trachomatis infection screening and treat women with C. trachomatis promptly, particularly those with HPV infections. They stated that this approach will not only protect against pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility, but may also prevent cervical cancer. Moreover, these researchers stated that the underlying interaction between C. trachomatis and cervical cancer risk needs to be confirmed in longitudinal studies. Thus, the findings of this study called for further investigation in more prospective studies to provide more definitive evidence concerning the role of this pathogen as a promoter of HPV-mediated cervical carcinogenesis.
Chlamydial infection is the most frequently reported bacterial infectious disease in the United States, and prevalence is highest among persons aged ≤24 years ( 141, 784 ). Multiple sequelae can result from C. trachomatis infection among women, the most serious of which include PID, ectopic pregnancy, and infertility.
Prenatal screening and treatment of pregnant women is the best method for preventing chlamydial infection among neonates. C. trachomatis infection of neonates results from perinatal exposure to the mother’s infected cervix. Initial C.
Sexual abuse should be considered a cause of chlamydial infection among infants and children. However, perinatally transmitted C. trachomatis infection of the nasopharynx, urogenital tract, and rectum can persist for 2–3 years (see Sexual Assault or Abuse of Children).
When a client receives a billable TB service, billed by E/M codes and also is seen by the same Health Department Physician or Advance Practice Practitioner on same date or service for a separately identifiable medical condition , Modifier 25 should be appended to the E/M code that correlates to the primary reason for the client’s visit.
Be mindful of the fact that using 340B drugs to treat non-reportable STDs may significantly reduce the supply of 340B drugs available to treat clients that the Health Department are required by mandate to treat
Women and men with chlamydia should be retested about three months after treatment of an initial infection, regardless of whether they believe that their sex partners were successfully treated. Infants infected with chlamydia may develop ophthalmia neonatorum (conjunctivitis) and/or pneumonia.
Women whose sex partners have not been appropriately treated are at high risk for re-infection. Having multiple chlamydial infections increases a woman’s risk of serious reproductive health complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy.
It is important to take all of the medication prescribed to cure chlamydia. Medication for chlamydia should not be shared with anyone. Although medication will stop the infection, it will not repair any permanent damage done by the disease.
