Performance of Cephid CT/NG Xpert rapid PCR test for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae at a tertiary care centre in North India
Introduction
Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are prevalent causes of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) globally, leading to substantial morbidity and transmission risks.
Methods
This study evaluates the diagnostic efficacy of Xpert CT/NG compared to conventional PCR and culture methods in 121 patients at a tertiary care centre in North India.
Results
Xpert CT/NG demonstrated high sensitivity (85.8%) and specificity (96.3%) outperforming conventional PCR. Xpert CT/NG's rapidity and accuracy underscore its utility in timely diagnosis and control of STIs.
Conclusion
As sexually transmitted infections pose a serious health concern implementation of such rapid diagnostic methods/point of care testing methods are to be implemented for early diagnosis.
