Immunofluorescent staining was compared to cell culture for the diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis infections in the female genital tract. By culture, the incidence in the 496 patients in the study was 12.3%. Immunofluorescence demonstrated organisms in 90% of the culture-positive cases, with a specificity of 99.3%. This method appears to be a successful replacement for culture for general screening.
为诊断女性生殖道沙眼衣原体感染，对免疫荧光染色法与细胞培养法进行了比较。通过培养，该研究中496例患者的感染率为12.3%。免疫荧光法在90%的培养阳性病例中检测到病原体，特异性为99.3%。这种方法似乎可成功替代培养法用于一般筛查。
