Genital Chlamydial Infection in South Australia: QSR 2000 No. 15
Genital Chlamydial Infection 01/01/00 - 31/03/00
Between 1 January and 31 March 2000, 251
cases of chlamydial infection were notified by medical practitioners to
STD Services. One hundred and ten cases (44%) occurred in males and 141
(56%) in females (Table 4.1). This data is consistent
with the expected incidence and sex ratios based on data for the period
1995-99.
Males and females aged less than 30
years accounted for 66% and 89% of cases of genital chlamydial infection,
respectively (Table 4.1). The racial origin of 185
cases (74%) was reported as Caucasian. The infection was reported as being
acquired in South Australia for 218 cases (87%).
The number of laboratory tests for
genital chlamydia performed during this quarter is shown in Table
4.2.
