  • Title: [Newer diagnostic procedures for chlamydial diseases (author's transl)].
    Author: Edlinger E, Ardoin P.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1982 Jun 17; 58(24):1519-25. PubMed ID: 6287622.
    Abstract:
    Chlamydiales are bacteries showing a growth cycle unique among procaryotes. The two species Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia psittaci are genetically very distant and their pathogenicity for man is very distinct. Human chlamydia infections by Chlamydia trachomatis are diseases chiefly sexually transmitted and their epidemiological importance is growing. The relationship between chlamydial infections, Reiter disease, and cat scratch disease are discussed. The various laboratory diagnostic procedures are reported, including the techniques and their indications; the method of choice is in the majority of cases the isolation of Chlamydia on cell culture.
