  • Title: Conventional tissue culture compared with rapid immunofluorescence for identifying Chlamydia trachomatis in specimens from patients attending a genitourinary clinic.
    Author: Teare EL, Sexton C, Lim F, McManus T, Cuttley AH, Hodgson J.
    Journal: Genitourin Med; 1985 Dec; 61(6):379-82. PubMed ID: 3910545.
    Abstract:
    Specimens collected from 182 patients with histories suggesting chlamydial disease were examined by conventional culture and direct immunofluorescence techniques. Chlamydia trachomatis was identified by both methods in 57% of all patients. There was no significant difference between the two methods in detecting C trachomatis. Where a tissue culture service is not already established, cost analysis in individual departments may justify the use of the immunofluorescence method.
