TM
Chlamydia is now recognized as being at epidemic
levels and is the most common sexually transmitted
disease (STD) in the U.S. Approximately three-fourths of
women with a chlamydia infection are
asymptomatic and may inadvertently
transmit the infection without proper
diagnosis and treatment
(http://www.cdc.gov/std/Chlamydia/
STDFact_Chlamydia.htm).
The QuickVue Chlamydia test provides you and your
patients with fast and accurate results, all in one office
visit and offers high sensitivity and specificity in all
patient populations. The test is easy to

swab or cytology brush specimen. Its simple
