Overview
Other diagnostic studies are used when NAAT or culture are not available. Other diagnostic studies for gonorrhea infection include rapid NAAT assay (modular-cartridge based platform), leukocyte esterase urine test, immunochromatographic tests, nucleic acid hybridization tests, and enzyme immunoassay (EIA).[1][2][3]
Other diagnostic studies
Other diagnostic studies are used when NAAT or culture are not available.
Other diagnostic studies for gonorrhea infection include:[1][2][3]
- Rapid PCR test (modular-cartridge based platform)
- Detects nucleic acid of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea in less than 2 hours
- Expensive
- Leukocyte esterase urine dipsticks test
- Detects an enzyme found in certain white blood cells (WBC)
- Immunochromatographic tests
- Nucleic acid hybridization tests
- DNA probes labeled with a chemiluminescent marker is used to identify a specific nucleic acid sequence of the organism (less sensitive than NAAT)
- Enzyme immunoassay (EIA)
