A leukocyte esterase test on the first 15 mL of a random urine sample is recommended to
screen for chlamydial infection. However, there is concern about the sensitivity and specificity
of this test. In high-risk populations, annual urethral screening for gonorrhea and chlamydial
infection by culture or nonculture test can be encouraged. Syphilis serology should be
considered in high-risk populations or where syphilis is prevalent.
