RESUMO
A total of 803 endocervical samples were obtained from females with clinical or epidemiological histories suggesting chlamydia infection. These specimens were tested by IDEIA III and cell culture for the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis. After resolution of discrepant results by direct fluorescent-antibody staining of pelleted cell culture transport materials, IDEIA III demonstrated sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of 93.8, 99, 92.9, and 99.1%, respectively.
