ABSTRACT
Using a fluorescein labelled monoclonal antibody ("Microtrak") to identify Chalmydia elementary bodies in urethral smears, we detected Chlamydia trachomatis in 32 (26.67%) of 120 male patients after treatment of their gonococcal urethritis. Sixteen of these 32 patients (50%) had normal urethral smear. Only 16 (50%) of the patients yielding chlamydia would have received treatment in the absence of diagnostic service for chlamydial infection.
