  • Title: Rapid diagnosis by immunofluorescence of Chlamydia trachomatis cervical infections.
    Author: Del Pezzo M, Miloso M, Piccoli S, Gulletta E.
    Journal: G Batteriol Virol Immunol; 1987; 80(1-12):183-8. PubMed ID: 3334312.
    Abstract:
    In this study the MicroTrak (Syva Co.) system has been evaluated in comparison with the isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis onto McCoy cell monolayer, testing 120 endocervical samples taken from an unselected women population. The overall results show a higher incidence of positivity in women under 30 years of age; a sensitivity of the immunofluorescence of 76.3% and a specificity of 89.8%. The agreement between the two methods is significative when we test symptomatic patients.
