Costs and health consequences of chlamydia management strategies among pregnant women in sub‐Saharan Africa

摘要

ObjectivesChlamydia is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide and a major cause of morbidity—particularly among women and neonates. We compared costs and health consequences of using point‐of‐care (POC) tests with current syndromic management among antenatal care attendees in sub‐Saharan Africa. We also compared erythromycin with azithromycin treatment and universal with age‐based chlamydia management.
