Abstract
|
|
|
Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis0 is the most important pathogen of nongonococcal urethritis. C. trachomatis was detected by cell culture, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay 9DELISA0 and polymerase chain reaction (PCR0 in 145 patients with
nongonococcal urethritis.
In 5 of 63 antibiotic-treated patients, C. trachomatis was identified by at least one method. C. trachomatis was identified in 34 (41.5%) of 82 nontreated patients. The most common symptom of the 34 patients was painful urination. C. trachomatis
was
identified in 6 cases (17.6%) of 34 patients by cell culture. And C. trachomatis was identified in 9 cases 926.5%) by ELLISA, while in 33 cases(97.1%) by PCR. When PCR was performed with urines and urinary swabs collected from 38 patients with
nongonococcal urethritis, 11(29%) cases showed positive with urine and 10(26%) cases with urinary swab.
