Actual aspects of laboratory diagnostics of urogenital chlamydial infections
We have analyzed the literature devoted to the study of biological properties of chlamydia and the role of chlamydial infection in human pathology. It was discovered that urogenital chlamydial infection is characterized as chronic and asymptomatic that contributes to the spread of the infection with the development of a generalized form. There is an overview of current approaches to laboratory diagnosis of chlamydial urogenital infection, diagnostic capabilities. It is indicated to use several complementary tests for the diagnosis of chlamydial infection. Molecular diagnostic methods are a priority in making a diagnosis of chronic urogenital infection and its generalized form.
