| Popis: | Endocervical swab and cytobrush specimens from 1,301 symptomatic women were microscopically analyzed for adequacy and tested using Chlamydiazyme (CZ) (Abbott Laboratories). When the swab specimen was collected first, blocking antibody-confirmed CZ-positive results were obtained from 48 (8.0%) of 599 patients, 42 (87.5%) from swabs and 46 (95.8%) from cytobrushes (not significant). When the swab specimen was collected second, confirmed CZ-positive results were obtained from 46 (6.6%) of 702 patients, 44 (95.6%) from swabs and 41 (89.1%) from cytobrushes (not significant). Cytobrushes offered no significant advantage over swabs for CZ detection of Chlamydia trachomatis. |
