  • Title: [Diagnosis of ocular Chlamydia infections by direct detection].
    Author: Bialasiewicz AA, Radtke U, Jahn GJ.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1987 Aug; 191(2):106-9. PubMed ID: 3312763.
    Abstract:
    Conjunctival smears of 75 patients with a presumptive diagnosis of oculogenital chlamydial infection were evaluated with the monoclonal antibody direct test (SyvaMerck and Orion Research). 69 isolates were correlated with McCoy cell cultures and serum IgG immunofluorescent tests. Sensitivity (100%) and specificity (56-76%) of the monoclonal antibody direct test was comparable to data from recently published studies on genital smears.
