Evaluation of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for detecting Neisseria gonorrhoeae - INAHTA Brief

The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefit of detecting Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), a pathogen that causes sexually transmitted infections (STIs), by a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) in symptomatic patients, asymptomatic patients (screening of persons at risk) and in other clinical situations (post-treatment follow-up, reactive arthritis in adults, investigations of male infertility, suspected conjunctival infection in neonates) with a view to deciding on the reimbursement of NAAT by the French National Health Insurance Fund
