We evaluated the performance of the BioStar Chlamydia OIA (optical immunoassay) in adolescent females (n = 261) from an inner city population. With a reference standard of two different nucleic acid amplification tests, the sensitivity and specificity of the BioStar Chlamydia OIA were 59.4 and 98.4%, respectively. Due to its relatively low sensitivity, the BioStar Chlamydia OIA should only be used in conjunction with more sensitive laboratory tests unless laboratory tests are unavailable or timely return for treatment is unlikely.
