PY - 2007 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases AB - • Clinical diagnosis is difficult because most genital chlamydial infections are asymptomatic and even when symptoms or signs are present, they are nonspecific.• Diagnosis relies on tests that detect the causative organism, Chlamydia trachomatis.• Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) have the greatest sensitivity and can be performed on noninvasively collected specimens (eg, urine or self-collected vaginal swabs).
