[Examination of the role of C. trachomatis in genitourinary infections using enzyme immunoassay and Giemsa staining].
In the past decade C. trachomatis (serotype D-K) has been established as an important etiologic agent in genitouriner tract infections in both women and men. Laboratory diagnostic tests for Chlamydia include direct microbiologic isolation and serologic and cytologic techniques. In studies lasting from Oct. 11th 1985 - to the Feb. 21st 1986, a total of 600 people were tested in parallel by EIA and giemsa staining. These people comprised three groups. The largest group, 380 patients, had genitourinary infections, the second, control group, of 127 people were healthy and the third, risk group (contacts of infected or suspected people) of 93 people were also healthy. C. trachomatis was found in 10.7% of the patients group, 7.2% of the risk group and 1.5% of the control group.
