Metaanálisis de la prevalencia de chlamydia trachomatis entre hombres y mujeres militares

Introduction: Chlamydia trachomatis is the first cause of sexually transmitted infections in the world. The risk groups are young adults and it is postulated that it is greater in the military and in women. However, the evidence is heterogeneous.

The overall prevalence was 5.5 % (95 % CI 5.3-5.6) with significant differences between men 2.5 % (95 % CI = 2.4-2.7) and women 9.5 % (95 % CI = 9.2-9.7).

Conclusion: The prevalence of infection in the military is higher than that found in other population groups with a greater proportion in women. There is evidence of the need to implement screening programs at the time of entry into the armed forces, to carry out periodic surveillance and to implement subsequent investigations that study the double vulnerability of the military woman. © 2019, Editorial Ciencias Medicas.
