PURPOSE Traditionally first-void urine specimens are used to test for Chlamydia
trachomatis. In contrast, midstream urine specimens are traditionally recommended for …

Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) are more sensitive than other methods for the
diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) genital infections. Two unique sequential testing …

Traditionally, culture and immunoassays have been performed for the detection of sexually
transmitted diseases, including Chlamydia trachomatis. However, these assays may often …

Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis are
routinely used on first-catch urine (FCU) specimens. We analyzed data from a head-to-head …

Background: Because Chlamydia trachomatis infections are usually asymptomatic or
minimally symptomatic, diagnosis is often delayed. Goal: To perform a comparative study of …

Objective To compare, in parallel, different approaches of opportunistically screening
women with bleeding in early pregnancy for Chlamydia trachomatis. Design Cross‐sectional …

Objectives: Sampling of both the cervix and urine increases the chance of detection of
Chlamydia trachomatis compared with sampling either site alone. We determined the effect …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the performance of different test
types, specimen sources, and collection methods for screening of genital Chlamydia …

We compared the Gen-Probe transcription-mediated amplification assay (AMP CT), the
Abbott LCx assay, and the Roche COBAS AMPLICOR assay for the detection of Chlamydia …

We evaluated three CDC-suggested approaches for confirming positive nucleic acid
amplification tests (NAATs) for Chlamydia trachomatis:(i) repeat the original test on the …
