Resumo: Objective: To review the different methods for the diagnosis of genital infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. Material and methods: Review of medical literature. Conclusions: By choosing the method, it must be consider the sensitivity and specificity of the technique, the individuality of the case and the available possibilities. The culture exam for Chlamydia trachomatis is the gold-standard test, due to its’ best specificity in the detection of this disease. Nevertheless, recent trails suggests that the nucleic acid amplified tests have shown better sensibility and equal specificity when compared to the cultural test. KEY WORDS: Chlamydia INFECTIONS; Chlamydia trachomatis; UROGENITAL SYSTEM; LABORATORY TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES.

Objetivos: Revisar os diferentes métodos para o diagnóstico de infecção urogenital por Chlamydia trachomatis. Material e métodos: Revisão de literatura médica especializada. Conclusões: Na escolha do método diagnóstico deve-se considerar a sensibilidade e especificidade da técnica pretendida, a individualidade do caso e a adequação aos recursos disponíveis. O exame cultural para Chlamydia trachomatis constitui-se no teste padrão, por apresentar a melhor especificidade na detecção da infecção. Entretanto, estudos recentes sugerem que as técnicas de amplificação de ácido nucléico têm demonstrado maior sensibilidade e especificidade semelhante ao teste cultural.
