ABSTRACT

Resumen La infección de transmisión sexual por Chlamydia trachomatis, tiene una alta prevalencia en Chile y otras latitudes, y se asocia a graves riesgos para la salud reproductiva de quienes se infectan. El cribado con autotoma de la muestra y detección mediante amplificación de ácidos nucleicos es la forma más eficaz de control sanitario. Hasta ahora, en Chile, el diagnóstico y manejo epidemiológico de C. trachomatis no se realiza en la salud pública. El Ministerio de Salud de Chile está haciendo importantes avances para iniciar esta implementación. La Sociedades Médicas se comprometen a participar en este proceso para lograr el eficaz control de esta infección en nuestra población.


The sexually transmitted infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis has a high prevalence in Chile and other latitudes and is associated with serious risks to the reproductive health of those who become infected. Screening with self- collected samples and detection by amplification of nucleic acids is the most effective form of sanitary control. Until now, in Chile, the diagnosis and epidemiological management of C. trachomatis is not carried out in public health. The Ministry of Health of Chile is making important progress to start this implementation. The Medical Societies are committed to participate in this process to achieve effective control of this infection in our population.
