Prevalence of Isolated Urethral Asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis Infection in the Absence of Cervical Infection in Incarcerated Adolescent Girls

Isolated urethral C. trachomatis infection occurs frequently, and sampling both sites as opposed to sampling the cervix alone increases the number of cases found by 24% (P < 0.002). Using a single slide to detect infection in both sites detects as many infections as using two separate slides.
