[Assessing the efficacy of DNA hybridization for diagnosis of adenoviral and chlamydial diseases of eyes].

Analysis of scrapings off the conjunctiva of patients with suspected adenoviral infection (n = 60) and ophthalmochlamydiasis (n = 132) by different diagnostic tests showed good prospects of using DNA hybridization: the efficacy of detecting adenoviral diseases of the eyes was 35% improved in comparison with the fluorescent antibody method with polyclonal serum and the diagnosis of ophthalmochlamydiasis was 22.8% improved in comparison with enzyme immunoassay.
