Chlamydia trachomatis Chlamydia trachomatis , Ureaplasma urealyticum Ureaplasma urealyticum and Neisseria gonorrhoeae Neisseria gonorrhoeae among C C hinese women with urinary tract infections in S S hanghai: A A community‐based cross‐sectional study

摘要

Abstract Aim This study explored chlamydia trachomatis ( CT ), ureaplasma urealyticum ( UU ) and/or neisseria gonorrhoeae ( NG ) in 5893 women with urinary tract infections ( UTI s) in S hanghai. Methods From J anuary 2009 to D ecember 2014, 5893 women with UTI s in S hanghai were selected to undergo CT , UU and NG detection. Baseline characteristics including age, education level, occupation, reproductive history, sexual behavior and contraceptive method were obtained for epidemiological analysis. Results The total CT , UU and/or NG infection rate in the urine samples of 5893 patients was 50.69% (2987/5893), while the infection rate in vaginal secretion samples was 56.22% (3313/5893). The two detection methods were consistent. Patients aged 21–30, service personnel and unemployed persons had the highest rates of CT , UU and/or NG infection, while patients with higher education levels exhibited lower rates. As the number of previous pregnancies, natural births, abortions, sexual partners and the frequency of sexual intercourse increased, the rates of CT , UU and/or NG infection were elevated. Sexual intercourse during the menstruation period, a lack of cleaning before sexual intercourse and the use of intrauterine devices could all lead to an increased rate of CT , UU and/or NG infection. Conclusions These data revealed that the rate of CT , UU and/or NG infection may be associated with age, education level, occupation, reproductive history, sexual behavior and type of contraceptive method in female patients with UTI in S hanghai.
