The diagnosis of infections with chlamydia related to the trachoma agent is best confirmed by isolation of the organism in tissue-culture. A simplified technique using conventional monolayers of McCoy cells can be used as an alternative to current methods involving heavily irradiated cells and appears to be of reasonable sensitivity. Chlamydial infection was confirmed in 38/190 females attending venereal clinics, in 22/35 patients with hypertrophic cervical erosions, and in 7/18 infants with ophthalmia neonatorum.
与沙眼病原体相关的衣原体感染的诊断,最好通过在组织培养中分离出该病原体来确诊。一种使用 McCoy 细胞常规单层的简化技术可作为涉及重度辐照细胞的现行方法的替代方法,且似乎具有合理的敏感性。在 190 名到性病诊所就诊的女性中,有 38 例确诊为衣原体感染;在 35 例患有肥厚性宫颈糜烂的患者中,有 22 例确诊;在 18 例患有新生儿眼炎的婴儿中,有 7 例确诊。
