Abstract
In a 1 yr evaluation of the indirect fluorescent antibody test for gonorrhea, 16,127 specimens from low- and high-risk groups were examined, and the results were compared with culture, history of exposure to a known patient, and clinical signs and symptoms. The results confirmed the usefulness of the indirect fluorescent antibody test for gonorrhea as a screening procedure, especially for women in the low-risk group. The test is more economic and probably more sensitive than culture for mass screening of asymptomatic women.This publication has 39 references indexed in Scilit:
