Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Chlamydial infection and its complications include:[1][2][3][4][5][6] [7]
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Chlamydial infection and its complications include:[1][2][3][8][5]
| Type of Chlamydia | Tests | Findings |
|---|---|---|
| Neonatal Conjuctivitis | CBC | Normal |
| ESR | Normal | |
| Neonatal pneumonia[1] | CBC | Absolute increase in eosinophil count |
| ESR | Increased | |
| CRP | Increased | |
| Genital infection[3][9][5] | CBC | Increased leukocyte count |
| Urinalysis | >5 WBCS per high power field | |
| ESR | Normal or increased | |
| CRP | Normal or increased | |
| Atypical pneumonia[10] | CBC | Increased or normal leukocyte count( lymphocytes) |
| Fitz Hugh Curtis Syndrome[2][3] | CBC | Increased leukocytes |
| LFTS | Normal | |
| ESR | Normal or increased | |
| D Dimer | Normal or increased |
Other diagnostic tests
The gold standard for the diagnosis of chlamydia infection is culture. However, other diagnostic tests used to diagnose chlamydia infection include
Culture
- Gold standard for diagnosing chlamydial infection
- Organism grows in cell culture
Direct Cytological test
- Used for diagnosing acute inclusion conjuctivitis in neonates
- Detects typical intracytoplasmic inclusions using giemsa stain
- Insensitive for diagnosing adult conjuctival and genital infection
Antigen detection tests
Nucleic acid amplification tests(NAATS)[11][12][13]
- These include PCR, ligase chain reaction, and transcription-mediated amplification of RNA.
- Higher sensitivity and specificity than culture
- FDA approved for diagnosis
- Recommended by CDC
Antibody detection tests
