Objective To explore the clinical diagonstic value of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA probe hybridization for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection of urogenital tract.Method 80 specimens from cervicitis subject were examined by PCR and DNA probe hybridization simultaneously.Result The positive rate of PCR (23.8%) was higher than that of DNA probe hybridization (15.0%) significantly.Conclusion PCR is more sensitive than DNA probe hybridization in detecting Ct infection,and the combination of two would be more preferable. |
