Appendix EChlamydia trachomatis Screening RecommendationsThe U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has published recommendations for screening certain groups of women for C. trachomatis infection (E-1). The following summarizes those recommendations:
USPSTF did not address screening of women with a C. trachomatis infection. CDC recommends that women with C. trachomatis infection be screened 3--4 months after treatment is completed (E-2). References E-1. US Preventive Services Task Force. Screening for chlamydial infection:
recommendations and rationale. Am J Prev Med 2001;20(3Suppl):90--4. * USPSTF does not include a time interval for this risk factor. Having new or multiple sex partners within the past 90 days was the criterion recommended previously by CDC (Source: CDC. Recommendations for the prevention and management of Chlamydia trachomatis infections, 1993. MMWR 1993;42[No. RR-12]:1--39). A history of new or multiple sex partners since the woman's last screening would also provide a time interval for previously screened women. USPSTF did not include a time limitation for the risk factor of having a prior history of sexually transmitted disease. Obtaining a history of a sexually transmitted disease within the past year includes an arbitrary choice of time interval. Obtaining a history of a sexually transmitted disease since the woman's last screening would also restrict the time interval for a sexually transmitted disease in the past.
