Abstract
Sensitivity and specificity of both analysers and both transport media were quite identical. The self-collected vaginal swab was better to detect C. trachomatis infection than cervical swab but the chlamydial load was higher in cervix compared with vagina. Vaginal swab is an appropriate specimen for diagnosing genital chlamydial infection and Cobas TagMan® could replace Cobas Amplicor®.
