A chemiluminometric immunoassay (Magic Lite Chlamydia) for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis antigens in first-void urine samples was compared with cell culture using urogenital swabs from 221 men and 242 women. The rate of isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis was 23.5 % in men, nearly 80 % of whom had symptoms of urethritis, and 8.3 % in women, in whom both cervix and urethra samples were tested. In urine sediments from men and women respectively the chemiluminometric assay showed a sensitivity of 80.8 % and 70 %, a specificity of 97 % and 95 %, a positive predictive value of 89.4 % and 58.3 %, and a negative predictive value of 94.3 % and 97.2 %. Discrepancies between results obtained with the chemiluminometric assay and cell culture were resolved using two polymerase chain reaction techniques to test urogenital samples. The detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in urine samples with the chemiluminometric assay was confirmed to be superior for screening symptomatic men with urogenital infections than women as a lower prevalence population.
