[The comparative characteristics of direct microscopic methods in the laboratory diagnosis of chlamydial infection in newborn infants].
Methods of laboratory diagnosis of chlamydial infection in newborns are compared. Two methods are highly effective: cytological and immunofluorescent. If the material for investigation is properly collected and the laboratory assistant is highly qualified, a cheaper and available cytological method of staining after Romanovsky-Giemsa can be used in practical public health. The method should be used in modification according to May-Grünwald with addition of DMSO into staining solution.
