title: Liaison between gynaecologists, microbiologists and genitourinary medicine clinics in the management of patients with genital chlamydia and gonococcal infections.
abstract: Inadequate treatment and follow-up of women with genital infection with Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae can cause long-term morbidity. Inadequate contact tracing can predispose to re-infection. As some women with genital infections present to agencies other than genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics, improved liaison between these and GUM departments are important in safeguarding proper follow-up and contact tracing.
