Abstract: Objective To investigate and evaluate the effects of different test methods on the results of Chlamydia trachomatis detection .Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method and the immune colloidal gold technique were adopted to detect the Chlamydia trachomatis in 354 specimens .Results Compared the detection results of ELISA and immune colloidal gold technique ,differences of detection rates of overall specimens and female specimens was not statistically significant (P>0 .05) .The positive rate of male specimens detected by ELISA was 11 .02% (13/118) ,which was significantly higher than that of female speci-mens[4 .2% (5/118)](P<0 .05) .Conclusion The specificity and sensitivity of ELISA were higher than those of immune colloidal gold technique ,which is important for the early diagnosis of male urethral Chlamydia trachomatis infection .
