Health benefits of Chlamydia screening programmes 'might have been overestimated'

benefits of current screening programmes "might have been overestimated."

"A low incidence of Chlamydial complications is good news for individual patients, but raises questions about the presumed cost effectiveness of current Chlamydia screening programmes," they conclude.

They point out that most economic evaluations of these programmes assume uptake of 60 to 100%, but in practice uptake is often lower. Research is also now beginning to suggest that in half of symptomless patients, the infection resolves by itself within a year without doing any damage.
