Chlamydia trachomatis causes sexually transmitted infections, and also the eye disease trachoma. The detection of Chlamydia in urine sample from a child can be seen as evidence for sexual abuse. We will assess the potential impacts of three mechanisms that could conceivably lead to urogenital Chlamydia diagnosis in a child in the absence of sexual abuse: contamination of the urogenital site with ocula Chlamydia, contamination of urine samples after collection, and diagnostic test malfunction.

沙眼衣原体会引起性传播感染，也会引起沙眼。在儿童尿样中检测到衣原体可被视为性虐待的证据。我们将评估三种机制的潜在影响，这三种机制可能会导致儿童在没有性虐待的情况下进行泌尿生殖道衣原体诊断：眼状衣原体对泌尿生殖道部位的污染，采集后尿液样本的污染，以及诊断测试故障。
