Abstract
Clinical Inquiries question: What is the optimal interval between treatment and test-of-cure (TOC) in pregnant women with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT)? Evidence-based answer: The optimal interval between treatment and TOC in pregnant women with CT is 3 to 4 weeks (strength of recommendation C: several small prospective and retrospective cohort studies; a high-quality nonsystematic review; and a consensus guideline). Testing before 3 weeks might give false-positive results, while waiting longer than 4 weeks might delay detecting new infections or result in treatment failure.
