Pooling of Urine Specimens for Detection of Asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis Infections by PCR in a Low-Prevalence Population: Cost-Saving Strategy for Epidemiological Studies and Screening Programs

Pooling, in groups of five, of urine specimens from asymptomatically infected men in a population with 4% prevalence, as determined by case finding, is 100% sensitive and specific and results in a 60.5% reduction in the number of tests needed.
