    Abstract:
    A comparative study between Chlamydia Testpack and Chlamydiazyme for the detection of chlamydial antigen was performed. In 61 cases suspected of being chlamydial infection, Chlamydia Testpack had a specificity of 92% and a sensitivity of 88% when compared with Chlamydiazyme. On the result of study using Chlamydia trachomatis serotype B, the sensitivity of Chlamydia Testpack which had a lower limit of 6 x 10(4)/ml of EB was less than that of Chlamydiazyme which had a lower limit of 0.7 x 10(4). However, the large number of EB presented in almost all positive specimen, indicated that Chlamydia Testpack could be used to screen the clinical materials.
