Rapid, inexpensive confirmation of chlamydial infection
Abstract:
This article will hopefully make all optometrists aware of a rapid, direct method for confirming a diagnosis of chlamydial (inclusion) conjunctivitis. The Micro-Trak test from Syva is inexpensive, highly specific, and very sensitive for all human serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis. The current regimens for chlamydial conjunctivitis are also described.
