目的：描述流行和偶发衣原体感染的流行病学，以评估衣原体筛查的适当间隔，并确定预测感染和重复感染的危险因素。设计：对3860名12岁至18岁性活跃女性连续样本的前瞻性纵向研究在巴尔的摩市的诊所中，通过聚合酶链反应在33个月内对11904名患者进行了60年的沙眼衣原体检测。衣原体感染的患病率、发病率和诊断感染的频率因年龄而异。在2073名女性中
Objective: To describe the epidemiology of prevalent and incident chlamydia infection in order to assess the appropriate interval for chlamydia screening; and to identify risk factors predictive of infection and repeat infections.Design: Prospective longitudinal study of a consecutive sample of 3860 sexually active females aged 12-60 years tested for C trachomatis by polymerase chain reaction in Baltimore City clinics during 11 904 patient visits over a 33 month period.Results: Chlamydia prevalence, incidence, and frequency to diagnosis of infection varied by age. Among 2073 females
