A new variant of Chlamydia trachomatis (nvCT) was discovered in Sweden in 2006, and it could not be detected by diagnostic systems from Abbott and Roche, whereas the third system used, from Becton Dickinson (BD), detects nvCT. We analyzed 3648 samples from 2 counties that used Roche and 2 counties that used BD methods from 2007 to 2011. After implementation of a Roche method that detects nvCT, its proportion has decreased and converged in the 4 counties but are still at different levels in Roche and BD counties. Future studies are needed to see if nvCT will decline further.
2006 年，瑞典发现了沙眼衣原体（nvCT）的一种新变体，雅培（Abbott）和罗氏（Roche）的诊断系统无法检测到这种变体，而第三个使用的系统，即比迪敦（Becton Dickinson）（BD）的系统，可以检测到 nvCT。我们分析了 2007 年至 2011 年间，使用罗氏方法的 2 个县和使用 BD 方法的 2 个县的 3648 个样本。在实施了罗氏检测 nvCT 的方法后，4 个县的 nvCT 比例有所下降并趋同，但罗氏县和 BD 县的水平仍存在差异。需要进一步研究以确定 nvCT 是否会进一步下降。
