Abstract
Methods:
Test-of-cure of 19 patients with Chlamydia trachomatis genital infection was assessed by daily collection of first void urine for 7 days just after treatment by azithromycin single-dose.
Results:
Detection by PCR and TMA of C. trachomatis showed a good correlation between both methods. The observation that post-therapy chlamydial nucleic acid detection is associated to bacterial clearance suggests that all the patients were cured.
