ABSTRACT
Adolescent males are considered to be an important genital chlamydial reservoir. However, there has been little information on urethral chlamydial infection in Thai adolescent males. About one fourth of males who are genital chlamydial reservoirs are asymptomatic. An appropriate means of defining the extent of chlamydial infection in adolescent males would be a non-invasive screening survey, instead of the conventional method of a deep swab cell culture, which is painful. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence and to determine what factors should indicate the use of a screening test for urethral chlamydial infection in adolescent males residing in Chiang Mai. Chlamydial urethritis was detected by examining urine deposits for chlamydial antigen by enzyme immunoassay (EIA).
