我们评估了在危地马拉性传播感染诊所就诊的278名性工作者标本中检测沙眼衣原体的快速护理点检测方法。与PCR结果相比，该检测的敏感性为62.96%，特异性为99.60%。在临床随访不频繁的情况下，该测试作为一种筛查工具表现良好。
We evaluated a rapid point-of-care test for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in specimens from 278 sex workers attending sexually transmitted infection clinics in Guatemala. The sensitivity and the specificity of the test compared to the results of PCR were 62.96% and 99.60%, respectively. The test performed moderately well as a screening tool in a context in which clinical follow-up visits are infrequent.
