[A comparative study of the information value of the immunofluorescence and immunochromatographic identification of Chlamydia trachomatis antigens in smear material from the cervical canal and of the cytological picture of a vaginal discharge in pregnant women].
The cytological picture of the vaginal discharge and scrape material, obtained from 30 pregnant women of the control group (not infected with C.trachomatis) and 61 pregnant women with chlamydiosis; of these, in 42 women the comparative identification of chlamydiae by the methods of direct immunofluorescence and immunochromatography was carried out. Direct immunofluorescence was carried out with the use of a set of reagents "MicroTrak" (USA) and immunochromatographic identification was made with the use of a set of reagents "Clearview Chlamydia" (Britain). The comparison of the results of immunochromatography and direct immunofluorescence revealed that the sensitivity of the set "Clearview Chlamydia" was 100.0% in comparison with the data obtained in the examination of women with the use of the set "MicroTrak". The negative results coincided in 90.1% of cases. The common features of the cytological picture of vaginal samples taken from pregnant women were established. The optimum system of the examination of pregnant women suspected for chlamydiosis, as well as for the evaluation of the effectiveness of its treatment, was proposed.
