Chlamydial infection. Screening and management update, 1992.

The need for a cost-effective, highly sensitive and specific test for Chlamydia trachomatis infection remains, although progress is being made. Clinicians can minimize the incidence of complications and erroneous test results by being alert to the possibility of this infection, screening appropriate patients, using careful collection techniques, following the most recent treatment recommendations, and knowing the limitations of available tests.
