title: Rapid antigen detection assay for identification of Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
abstract: A rapid antigen detection test was compared with direct fluorescent-antibody staining and with tissue culture isolation for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis infections in 507 women. The sensitivities observed were 75, 76, and 84%, respectively, with specificities of > 99%.
