ABSTRACT

Introducción: Chlamydia trachomatis es una bacteria patógena comúnmente reportada como causante de infecciones del tracto urogenital. Materiales y métodos: Mediante este estudio se determinó la frecuencia de infección por C. trachomatis utilizando PCR en tiempo real en mujeres de edad fértil (18 ­ 45) que acudieron al laboratorio del Hospital Carlos Andrade Marín. Para el estudio se colectaron 200 muestras de orina y se identificó el patógeno utilizando un kit comercial que identificó el plásmido críptico y al gen ompA presentes en la bacteria. Resultados: Se detectaron 3 muestras positivas que correspondieron al 1.5% de frecuencia. Los casos positivos se encontraron dentro de grupo de edad de 25 a 26 años. Discusión: Los resultados obtenidos en la presente investigación son comparables con estudios similares realizados en Latinoamérica con grupos de bajo riesgo.


Introduction: Chlamydia trachomatis is a pathogenic bacterium commonly reported as cause of infections of the urogenital tract. Methods: This study determined the frequency of C. trachomatis infection using real-time PCR. Two hundred urine samples from women in reproductive age were analyzed (range: 18 ­ 45 years old), which have attended at Carlos Andrade Marín Hospital. In order to test the samples, a commercial kit that identifies the criptic plasmid and the ompA gene from C. trachomatis was used. Results: From the 200 samples, three were positive that corresponed to a frequency of 1.5%. All positive cases were found within the group of 25 and 26 years old. Discussion: The results obtained in this research are comparable with similar studies obtained in several Latin American countries in low risk population
