Abstract
Enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assays to detect chlamydial cervicitis were performed on samples from 1,320 sexually active university women. Seventy-five (prevalence 5.7 percent) had positive tests. Demographic, history, symptom, and physical examination variables were insufficient to predict infection accurately. We conclude that screening during routine visits with this population is cost-effective.
