With increasing burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in India, documentation on the epidemiology of genital chlamydial infections in high-risk patients with sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is of significant public health value. Specific diagnosis is essential to prevent the morbidity due to the chlamydial infection and to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV infection. The present study was undertaken to analyse the usefulness of culture and antigen detection by direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) test for assessing the rate of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in symptomatic patients and feasibility of these tests for routine adoption in Indian setting.
