  • Title: Chlamydia trachomatis antigen can be detected in the urine sample of men with non-gonococcal urethritis.
    Author: Tanaka M, Matsumoto T, Kumazawa J, Nakayama H, Miyazaki Y.
    Journal: Urol Res; 1991; 19(4):235-6. PubMed ID: 1926657.
    Abstract:
    We tested the first portion of voided urine (FVU) and urethral swab from 80 patients with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) using a novel enzyme-amplified immunoassay (IDEIA) for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen. Urine specimens were positive in all patients with positive urethral swabs (positive coincidence ratio, 100%) and in 6 of 54 patients with negative swabs (negative coincidence ratio, 88.9%). Our data suggest that FVU is suitable for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen using the IDEIA test in patients with NGU.
