diagnosis methods of clamydia trachomatis

چکیده
chlamydia trachomatis is the most prevalent sexually transmitted bacterial infection, with an estimated annual worldwide incidence of 50 million cases. a large proportion of those infected, particularly women, are asymptomatic, and these individuals serve as a major reservoir of infection. women are also at risk for serious reproductive tract complications with significant morbidity. in an effort to prevent spread of these infections, increased attention is being paid to early diagnosis and treatment. the introduction of sensitive and highly specific nucleic acid amplification tests for detection of c. trachomatis has made the use of noninvasive testing feasible in women. recent studies have found that nucleic acid amplification tests are sufficiently sensitive to detect c. trachomatis in first-void urine in women. sensitivities have exceeded 95% in most studies when compared to detection with non culture tests of endocervical specimens as a standard, while at the same time preserving high specificities

Current methods of laboratory diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis infections.
Infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis are probably the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. Commonly unrecognized and often inadequately treated, chlamydial infections can ascend the reproductive tract and cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which often results in the devastating consequences of infertility, ectopic pregnancy, or chronic pelvic pain. C. trachomati...

Screening tests to detect Chlamydia trachomatis infections have advanced to permit the detection of nucleic acids from organisms. The development of these molecular assays that can detect and amplify the specific nucleic acids from the genes of C. trachomatis are called nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) and they have expanded the range of available specimen types to include noninvasive s...
