Abstract

Incarcerated women are at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI).Chlamydia and gonorrhea are most commonly found in females less than 25 years of age, both in the general population and among incarcerated women. This is the first study using a duplex PCR assays for C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae to identify both microorganisms from female inmates in Lubuk Pakam prison.The objectiove of the study is to detect multiple microbial targets simultaneously. From 41 subjects, endocervical swabs were taken and sent to the Laboratory for duplex CT-GC PCR identification. The result found that detection rate for Chlamydia trachomatis is16(39%) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae is 5(12%) and for both found in 3 subjects (7%) It was concluded that duplex CT-GC PCR are potentially useful for rapid from female detection C. trachomatis and N.gonorrhoeae from female genital secretions.
