Non-health care-seeking male United States Army recruits were tested for Chlamydia trachomatis (n=2245) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (n=884), using a urine ligase chain reaction test to determine prevalence and potential risk factors for infection. The prevalence of chlamydial infection was 5.3%. Black race, a new sex partner, a history of trichomonas, and the presence of symptoms were associated with chlamydial infection. The prevalence of N. gonorrhoeae infection was 0.6%. Only a reported…

The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections among men with urethritis in Kuwait.
Prevalence and High Rate of Asymptomatic Infection of Chlamydia trachomatis in Male College Reserve Officer Training Corps Cadets
TLDR
The prominence of asymptomatic infection in a male population with comparatively low prevalence suggests that risk factor rather than clinically based screening could be beneficial in this population of male college ROTC students.
Prevalence of asymptomatic urethritis by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae and associated risk factors among males living with HIV-1
TLDR
The presence of asymptomatic sexually transmitted infection is a challenge in clinical practice and a routine physical examination and complementary tests to detect STI pathogens should be performed to discard these conditions.
Extragenital Infections Caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae: A Review of the Literature
TLDR
This work reviewed studies reporting the prevalence of extragenital infections in women, men who have sex with men (MSM), and menWho have sex only with women (MSW), including distribution by anatomical site, and discussed current clinical recommendations and future directions for research.
Low prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in asymptomatic young Swiss men
TLDR
The prevalence of chlamydial infection in men is extremely low in Switzerland, despite a significant prevalence of risky sexual behaviour, and C. trachomatis infection was especially prevalent in men with multiple sexual partners.
Prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Among Men Screened for Chlamydia trachomatis in Four United States Cities, 1999–2003
TLDR
The prevalence of gonorrhea among asymptomatic men is low, and routine screening cannot be recommended when screening is performed for chlamydia, unless a substantial local prevalence of Gonorrhea can be documented in specific targeted venues or population groups.
Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections among men and women entering California prisons.
TLDR
The prevalence of C trachomatis infection at entry to California prisons, especially among young female and male inmates, was high, which supports routine screening at entry into prison.
Prevalence and factors associated with asymptomatic gonococcal and chlamydial infection among US Navy and Marine Corps men infected with the HIV: a cohort study
TLDR
A high prevalence of extragenital GC/CT infection among HIV-infected military men is found, signalling the need for aggressive three-site screening of MSM.
Prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis infection in men attending STD clinics in Brazil.
TLDR
A venue-based approach to offer routine screening for young men in STD clinics should be stimulated to have important implications for education and prevention actions directed toward men at risk of HIV/STD.
The frequency of gonorrheal and chlamydial infections in Zanjanian women in 2013-2014
TLDR
The prevalence of gonococci infection in Zanjan was remarkable and relatively was higher than other parts of Iran, therefore it is necessary to put emphasis on education and further preventive and therapeutic programs.

Chlamydia trachomatis infections in female military recruits.
TLDR
A control program that screens female recruits who are 25 years old or younger with urine DNA-amplification assays has the potential to reduce infection, transmission, and the sequelae of chlamydial infection among female military recruits.
Community-Based Urine Screening for Chlamydia trachomatis with a Ligase Chain Reaction Assay
TLDR
The utility of screening for C. trachomatis in urine specimens by ligase chain reaction assay is assessed and the prevalence and predictors of chlamydial infection in teenagers and young adults in community-based settings are explored.
Asymptomatic sexually transmitted disease prevalence in four military populations: application of DNA amplification assays for Chlamydia and gonorrhea screening.
TLDR
General population-based screening for asymptomatic sexually transmitted diseases, and in particular chlamydial infection, can be successfully implemented using urine-based DAA tests and benefits are maximized in a population in which compliance for follow-up therapy is high.
Emergency department screening for asymptomatic sexually transmitted infections.
TLDR
Urine-based screening of asymptomatic emergency department patients detected significant numbers of N gonorrhoeae and C trachomatis infections, suggesting targeted screening programs may contribute to community-level prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections.
Urine-Based Screening for Chlamydia trachomatis in Men Attending Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinics
TLDR
Urine ligase chain reaction increased C trachomatis detection, particularly among men without urethral inflammation, and testing all asymptomatic men younger than 30 years is optimal, whereas negative urine leukocyte esterase orUrethral Gram stain results in men 30 years or older support no testing.
Asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis urethritis in men.
TLDR
It is concluded that ceftriaxone (1 g given intramuscularly) was ineffective therapy for chlamydial urethritis; male urethral infection with C. trachomatis can remain asymptomatic for 21-45 days; and in this population pyuria detected by urinalysis correlates better with infection than does aUrethral gram stain.
Predictors of Chlamydia trachomatis Infection Among Women Attending Rural Midwest Family Planning Clinics
TLDR
The overall findings suggest the importance of developing screening guidelines as a means of lowering chlamydia rates, in light of the low rate of symptoms that would lead a woman to seek medical care, even in younger age women who are at higher risk.
Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in urine samples from men and women by ligase chain reaction
TLDR
Results indicate that the plasmid-LCR-based assay is a very reliable, sensitive, convenient test for the detection of C. trachomatis infection in female and male urine specimens.

TLDR
Characteristics of repeaters in this cohort suggest that specific patterns may be used to establish screening "profiles" of potential repeaters, by which such individuals might be targeted for aggressive intervention at the time of the initial diagnosis.
Evaluation of ligase chain reaction for use with urine for identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in females attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic
TLDR
Urine LCR testing for Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a practical alternative to culture for the detection of gonorrhea in women and has the potential to simplify and expand the opportunities for STD screening and surveillance of women.
