[Analysis of genital chlamydia and gonococcal infections in infertility].

To analyze the infection of chlamydia (CT) and gonorrhea (NG) in female infertility and male infertility population, and to explore the correlation between CT and NG infection and infertility. A case-control study was conducted to retrospectively analyze the specimens submitted by patients from the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2021 to December 2022. The results showed that a total of 32 184 specimens were collected, and the positive rates of CT were 4.41% (1 419/32 184), and positive rats of NG were 1.42% (457/32 184). In the infertility group (n=3 366), 2 987 were females and 379 were males. In the control group (n=3 366), 2 509 were females and 857 were males. The CT positive rate of the infertility group was 13.61% (458/3 366), which was significantly higher than that of the control group 3.30% (111/3 366), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=4.245, P<0.05), and the NG positive rate of the infertility group was 6.36% (214/3 366), which was significantly higher than that of the control group 0.89% (30/3 366), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=4.011, P<0.05). A total of 23 992 female genital tract swab specimens were collected, including 2 987 in the infertility group and 2 509 in the control group, and the positive rate of CT in the female infertility subgroup was 10.41% (311/2 987), which was significantly higher than that in the control group 3.75% (94/2 509), the difference was statistically significant (χ²=4.132, P<0.05), and the NG positive rate of 8.73% (261/2 987) in the female infertility subgroup was significantly higher than that in the control group 0.40% (10/2 509), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=4.242, P<0.05). A total of 8 192 male urine samples were collected, including 379 in the infertility group and 857 in the control group, and the CT positive rate of the male infertility subgroup was 13.72% (52/379), which was significantly higher than that of the control group 3.38% (29/857), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=5.267, P<0.05), and the positive rate of NG in the male infertility subgroup was 12.66% (48/379), which was significantly higher than that of the control group 0.93% (8/857), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=4.166, P<0.05). Among the 2 987 female specimens in the infertility group, 1 034 were in the primary infertility subgroup and 1 953 were in the secondary infertility subgroup, and the positive rates of CT were 7.93% (82/1 034) and 15.72% (307/1 953), respectively, and the positive rates of NG were 3.87% (40/1 034) and 8.65% (169/1 953) respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ²=0.185, P>0.05) and (χ²=0.002, P>0.05). In conclusion, the infection rate of genital tract CT and NG is high in the infertility population, CT and NG are recommended as routine examination indicators for eugenics and infertility screening.
