Assessment of <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> testing in Sweden 2016–2023 and the incidence of associated complications
IBSS has become the most important CT case detector in Sweden. Primary care and gynaecology clinics have low positivity rates. The decrease in PID rates may be due to generous CT testing, although other explanations are possible. Considering the low positivity rates in some clinic types and that asymptomatic CT cases have a low PID rate a reduced testing may be justified.
