微量细胞培养法检测疑似非淋菌性尿道炎患者的沙眼衣原体

Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in suspected NGU petients by microculture

采用微量细胞培养法分离１０７例疑似非淋菌性尿道炎或宫颈炎患者泌尿生殖道标本中的沙眼衣原体。总衣原体感染率为２４．３％，男、女衣原体感染率分别为２５．７％和２１．２％。对衣原体培养阳性的患者做了临床分析，并对微量细胞培养与传统的玻璃瓶培养法进行了比较。结果表明：在本组人群中沙眼衣原体感染有较高的流行率。微量细胞培养法与玻璃瓶培养法具有相似的敏感性，且成本低适用于大量标本的筛检。

Microculture technique was used to isolate Chlamydia trachomatis in 107 urogenital specimiens from patients with suspected nongonococcal urethritis or cervicitis. The total prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis was 24. 3% (male, 25. 7 %;female, 21. 2 % ). Clinical analysis was made on 26 Chlamydia-postive patients. The performance of microculture was compared with that of vial culture. The results suggested that genital Chlamydial infections are prevailing in this group of patients. Microculture has a sensitivity comparable to that of vial culture and is less expensive,its use in the screening of large amount of specimens is helpful.
