The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Chlamydia trachomatis/Neisseria gonorrhoeae (CT/NG) Testing Market would witness market growth of 11.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030).
The most effective diagnostics for CT and NG screening and diagnosis are nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), which have a high level of sensitivity. A wide variety of specimen forms are appropriate for detecting NG infections, but for CT detection, vaginal swabs for women and first-catch urine for males are preferable for NAATs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations acknowledge the use of endocervical samples in addition to these specimen categories. The ability to detect infection in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, including pregnant and non-pregnant women, is a critical component of a successful CT/NG screening test, and accepting a variety of specimen types maximizes clinician and client convenience, a key strategy to increase screening coverage.
The two distinct bacterial pathogens that cause CT/NG infections reach the host tissue in the urethra, anus, or throat only through sexual contact. Once inside the urethra, the bacteria infiltrate or attach to host tissue, triggering an inflammatory response often followed by a purulent discharge that the patient might observe. Then, both males’ and females’ urogenital tracts could become infected due to these microorganisms. Inflammation could result in issues with the prostate in males and the urethra, cervix, fallopian tubes, and uterus in women, perhaps leading to infertility in both sexes. In addition to discomfort, bleeding, or discharge from the anus, patients may also have ulcers, redness, or lesions in the mouth. The majority of patients, however, have no symptoms at all.
The prevalence of STDs or STIs are gaining a high momentum in the African region, which is leading to various health problems and serious complications. When compared to other regions, Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest annual STD cases. Infect papillomaviruses herpes simplex virus and the human papillomavirus are becoming more common in Sub-Saharan Africa. While there are more than 20 bacteria that cause STDs, they mostly manifest themselves in four syndromes and can thus be treated syndromically. Many government and major healthcare organizations are working together to improve the state of medical services, especially STD treatment across this region.
