Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Chlamydial infection and its complications include:[1][2][3][4]
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Chlamydial infection and its complications include:[1][5][3]
| Type of Chlamydia | Tests | Findings |
|---|---|---|
| Neonatal Conjuctivitis | CBC | Normal |
| ESR | Normal | |
| Neonatal pneumonia[6][7] | CBC | Absolute increase in eosinophil count |
| ESR | Increased | |
| CRP | Increased | |
| ABGS | Mild to moderate hypoxemia | |
| Genital infection[1][8][3] | CBC | Increased leukocyte count |
| Urinalysis | >5 WBCS per high power field | |
| ESR | Normal or increased | |
| CRP | Normal or increased | |
| Atypical pneumonia[9] | CBC | Increased or normal leukocyte count( lymphocytes) |
| Fitz Hugh Curtis Syndrome[1] | CBC | Increased leukocytes |
| LFTS | Normal | |
| ESR | Normal or increased | |
| D Dimer | Normal or increased |
Other diagnostic tests
Other diagnostic tests which may be used to diagnose chlamydia infection include the following:
Culture
- Gold standard for diagnosing chlamydial infection[10][11]
- Organism grows in cell culture
- Highly specific but sensitivity is highly dependent on transport method
Direct Cytological test
- Used for diagnosing acute inclusion conjuctivitis in neonates[12]
- Detects typical intracytoplasmic inclusions using giemsa stain
- Insensitive for diagnosing adult conjuctival and genital infection
Antigen detection tests
Tests based on antigen detection tests include the following:
Nucleic acid amplification tests(NAATS)[4][13][14][15][16]
- These include PCR, ligase chain reaction, and transcription-mediated amplification of RNA.
- Higher sensitivity and specificity than culture
- Majority of tests are FDA approved for diagnosis
- Recommended by CDC
Less accurate antigen detection tests
Antibody detection tests
Serological tests which may help in diagnosis of chlamydial infection include:[10]
Microimmunofluorescence (mif) assay
- Detect species-specific antibodies
- Gold standard for chlamydia serology
Complement fixation tests
- Used for diagnosing chlamydial respiratory infection
- Replaced by mif
