摘要
Practice recommendations for the evaluation of adolescents with urinary complaints advise taking a sexual history and testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In this emergency department chart review, 30% lacked a documented sexual history and 49% of sexually active patients were not STI tested, representing missed opportunities for diagnosis of STIs.
