Cervical specimen order and performance measures of Chlamydia trachomatis diagnostic testing
J Clin Microbiol.
2005 Oct.
Abstract
The orders of three endocervical specimens of 3,561 women for Chlamydia trachomatis testing were randomized to determine whether test performance measures of two nucleic acid amplification tests and a DNA probe were affected by swab order. Specimen collection order did not appear to affect the diagnostic accuracy of these tests.
