Detecting Chlamydia trachomatis by direct immunofluorescence using a Cytobrush sampling technique.
We compared two different methods of collecting endocervical samples for examination by direct immunofluorescence for Chlamydia trachomatis. A cervical Cytobrush gave better results than a dacron swab. Further studies should be performed to assess the value of alternative sampling methods to detect this organism.
