Abstract:
Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in Hubei province, and to provide scientific basis for prevention and control. Methods The data of Chlamydia trachomatis infection cases reported through the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention from 2008 to 2022 were collected for epidemiological statistical analysis. Results The incidence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in Hubei Province showed an increasing trend from 2008 to 2022, with an average annual reported incidence of 2.26/100 000. The top three reported incidence areas were Shiyan (6.04/100 000), Yichang (5.62/100 000) and Shennongjia (3.47/ 100 000). The reported incidence in southeast area was significantly higher than that in other areas (χ2=2869.603 , P < 0.001). The high incidence age group was 20-39 years old, accounting for more than 70%. The reported incidence in females was higher than that in males (χ2=1429.27 , P < 0.001). Housework and unemployment were the most common professions (43.54%). The case reporting institutions were mainly comprehensive hospitals (87.29%). Conclusion To effectively control the infection and transmission of Chlamydia trachomatis, it is necessary to strengthen the health popularization of STD knowledge, intervention and early active screening of high-risk groups.
