Hinweis der Redaktion
- Specimens — Newborns suspected of chlamydial infection should have both conjunctival and nasopharyngeal samples taken. Conjunctival specimens for chlamydia testing should be obtained from the everted eyelid using an aluminum shafted dacron-tipped swab or a swab specified by the manufacturer's test kit [28]. The specimens must include conjunctival epithelial cells because C. trachomatis is an obligate intracellular organism. Exudates are not adequate for testing. Other swabs, such as wood shafts or tips with calcium alginate are not recommended as they inhibit the growth of the organism.
