title: [A comparison of Clearview Chlamydia diagnostic tests and direct immunofluorescence (Chlamyset Antigen) in inflammatory gynecological diseases due to Chlamydia trachomatis].
abstract: The diagnostic performance of two direct antigen tests is compared, using parallel samples from 90 gynecologic patients. The latter were selected because of clinically suspicious symptoms for chlamydial infection. The incidence of infection in the study group was 33.3%. Compared to direct immunofluorescence Clearview Chlamydia had sensitivity of 80%, specificity of 100%, and the agreement between the two methods was 93.3%. Clearview Chlamydia may serve as a useful diagnostic test in case there is no available laboratory equipment and trained personal.
