Evaluation of Syva enzyme immunoassay for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in genital specimens.
Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis infection was evaluated by culture and a new Syva enzyme immunoassay (EIA) in 1,012 patients at two Baltimore, Md., sexually transmitted disease clinics. The overall chlamydia prevalence determined by culture was 12%. For 506 fresh cervical and urethral specimens, the sensitivity of Syva EIA was 90% and its specificity was 94% compared with culture. Discordant...
متن کاملEffect of patient characteristics on performance of an enzyme immunoassay for detecting cervical Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
We compared the performance of a commercial enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (Chlamydiazyme; Abbott Diagnostics, North Chicago, Ill.) with that of cell culture for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis cervical infection in 1,417 women attending public health clinics. Confirmatory chlamydial testing by a direct fluorescent-antibody test (MicroTrak; Syva Co., Palo Alto, Calif.) was performed on specime...
متن کاملImproved sensitivity of an enzyme immunoassay IDEIA for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis.
In tests on 375 genital tract specimens a commercially available enzyme immunoassay for Chlamydia trachomatis (IDEIA; Boots-Celltech) was found to have sensitivity values of 62% for men and 74% for women, and a specificity of 97% for both groups, relative to the results obtained by a fluorescence assay (Micro Trak; Syva). The positive predictive value and the negative predictive value of the im...
متن کاملChlamydia trachomatis genital infections.
The prevalence and clinical features of Chlamydia trachomatis infection were studied in men with nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), in their female sexual partners, and in other women. Of 92 patients with NGU, 36 (39%) were chlamydia-positive; although all had symptoms of urethritis, fewer than half had evident discharge. Clinical features of chlamydia-positive and chlamydia-negative NGU were indi...
متن کاملChlamydia trachomatis Genital Infections
Etiology, transmission and protection: Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) globally. However, C. trachomatis also causes trachoma in endemic areas, mostly Africa and the Middle East, and is a leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Epidemiology, incidence and prevalence: The World Health Organization estimates 131 million new ca...
