Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CT in a symptomatic heterosexual population in Delhi during a period of 10 years. Between January 2010 and December 2019, all heterosexual male and female patients with genital discharge attending an STI clinic of a tertiary care hospital were screened for CT infection. The testing of CT was performed on the first void urine collected from men and endocervical swabs collected from women using an in‐house polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method targeting the cryptic plasmid.[2] As the data extracted contained no patient identifiers, consent from each individual included in the study was not required.
