Systematic reviews of point-of-care tests for the diagnosis of urogenitalChlamydia trachomatisinfections

Key Points

Abstract

The systematic reviews showed that antigen detection POCTs for CT, although easy to use, lacked sufficient sensitivity to be recommended as a screening test. A near-patient NAAT shows acceptable performance as a screening or diagnostic test but requires electricity, takes 90 min and is costly. More affordable POCTs are in development.
