  • Title: Nucleic acid amplification testing in suspected child sexual abuse.
    Author: Esernio-Jenssen D, Barnes M.
    Journal: J Child Sex Abus; 2011 Nov; 20(6):612-21. PubMed ID: 22126105.
    Abstract:
    The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that site-specific cultures be obtained, when indicated, for sexually victimized children. Nucleic acid amplification testing is a highly sensitive and specific methodology for identifying sexually transmitted infections. Nucleic acid amplification tests are also less invasive than culture, and this may provide an efficacious alternative for children suspected of being sexually abused.
