    Abstract:
    Infection of genito-urinary tract, caused by C. trachomatis are common worldwide. In countries, where screening diagnosis and effective treatment programmes were introduced decreasing level of infections and their complications were described. Because C. trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium, very often infections are asymptomatic, although complications of symptomatic and asymptomatic infections are the same. Classically diagnosis of C. trachomatis infection is made based on culture in Mc Coy cells. C. trachomatis antigen is detected by DIF and EIA. Amplification technique play very important role in diagnosis of C. trachomatis infection. In this article we analysed laboratory diagnostic tools of urogenital chlamydiosis based on literature data and own experiences.
