Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical significance of detecting Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) DNA and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) DNA in female urine.
MethodsFrom January to June 2019, 212 female patients in department of venereal disease, were randomly selected. Cervical swabs were taken from each patient to detect CT-DNA, NG-DNA, Neisseria gonorrhoeae culture, and urine was used to detect CT-DNA, NG-DNA. Thirty female examinees were chosen as the control group.
ResultsCT-DNA positive rate of cervical swabs was 18.40% (39/212); CT-DNA positive rate of urine was 19.81% (42/212); there was no statistically significant difference between the positive rates of the two (χ2=0.14, P=0.71). The results of cervical swab CT-DNA and urine CT-DNA were consistent (Kappa=0.92, P<0.01). The positive rate of N. gonorrhoeae culture was 5.19% (11/212), and the positive rate of NG-DNA in cervical swabs was 12.26% (26/212), there was statistically significant difference between the positive rates of the two (χ2=6.662, P=0.010); the NG-DNA positive rate of urine was 10.38% (22/212), there was statistically significant difference compared with the positive rate of N. gonorrhoeae culture (χ2=3.976, P=0.046); the NG-DNA positive rate of cervical swabs was similar to that of urine (χ2=0.376, P=0.540). The results of cervical swab NG-DNA and urine NG-DNA were consistent (Kappa=0.86, P<0.01).
ConclusionUrine is a non-invasive specimen. The detection of CT-DNA and NG-DNA of urine in female patients has high sensitivity and specificity, suggested for clinical popularity.
