摘要：

Two methods of simplifying the procedure for examining urine samples for Chlamydia trachomatis were investigated. When 73 urine samples from 56 men with acute non-gonococcal urethritis were examined by direct immunofluorescence (Micro Trak), centrifuging 1 ml volumes of urine at 13 000 rpm for five minutes was at least as efficient for detecting C trachomatis as centrifuging larger volumes at 3000 rpm for 30 minutes. Furthermore, examination of urine produced during a visit to a sexually transmitted disease clinic was at least as efficient as examination of early morning urine for detecting C trachomatis by Micro Trak, or by an enzyme immunoassay (IDEIA). Both modifications have practical advantages and should encourage the use of urine samples for diagnosing chlamydial infections in men.
