Role of confirmatory PCRs in determining performance of Chlamydia Amplicor PCR with endocervical specimens from women with a low prevalence of infection
Abstract
The role of confirmatory PCR assays for determining the performance of Chlamydia Amplicor PCR for endocervical specimens from women with a low prevalence of infection was evaluated. An endocervical swab was collected from 770 women and tested by culture or direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) staining. A second swab was tested by Chlamydia Amplicor PCR (Roche Molecular Systems, Branchburg, N.J.). Discordant results were resolved by three …
