A Study On The Intervention For RTI Of Rural Fertile Married Women In Shandong Province And A Method Of Multiplex-PCR Test For RTI Pathogens

1 BACKGROUNDReproductive tract infections (RTI) have become a major public health problem all over the world, especially in developing countries. It is a consensus throughout the world to take effective measures to prevent and control RTI. According to the principle of "clients first" , The National committee for population and Family Planning initiated a significant systematic strategy, namely the program of RTI prevention and treatment and conducted the pilot study in 20 provinces in 2001. A series of researches have been done, most of which were cross-sectional studies, aiming only at having an insight into RTI-related knowledge, attitude, practices and its prevalence among women, while lot of counter measures or interventions on this point had been taken, especially in rural area. Because of absence and variety of symptom, non-typical and multiplex infection, many of RTI could not to be diagnosed and cured, so it is important for control RTI to early discovery, diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, the methods to detect RTI pathogens are inadaptative for the need of the epidemiological screen and laboratory diagnosis. The main problem is only one pathogen can be detected in a test or one kit that results in miscellaneous cost and trivial operations. So it is important to find a method to detect several RTI pathogens in one examination simultaneously.2 OBJECTIVESThis study aimed to establish the sustainable development of integrate control model of RTI, and to supply strategies for generalization of prevention and treatment of RTI. By using the molecular-biological...
