Abstract

Lower genital tract infections are the major cause of gynecological morbidity and a great public health concern in India. Inadequate laboratory diagnostic facilities in all the levels of health care, stigma and discrimination associated with RTI services are some of the reasons of lack of exact incidence/prevalence rate of RTI in India. Hence this study is conducted to assess the microbiological profile of lower genital tract infections in women of reproductive age group with special reference to Chlamydia trachomatis by Real Time PCR assay in a tertiary care hospital Laboratory diagnosis for women with symptoms and signs is suggested when compared to syndromic approach. Screening for sexually transmitted infections by serological methods are mandatory in women with symptoms and signs of genital tract infections.
