48 endocervical specimens from women with cervicitis and 82 urethral specimens from men with urethritis were investigated for the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis by either the cell culture method or enzyme immunoassay (Chlamydiazyme, Abbott Laboratories). The overall sensitivity and specificity of Chlamydiazyme assay were 84.6% and 95.2% respectively. This study shows that Chlamydiazyme assay is a quite sensitive and specific tool for a rapid and simple detection of chlamydial antigens in genital samples.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
