What methods of laboratory diagnosis of chlamydia are the most reliable?

Laboratory diagnostics is the cornerstone in the appointment of adequate treatment. Even if there are clinical signs of the disease, then without special research methods it is impossible to accurately diagnose and prescribe treatment. For "hidden", hard-to-detect, intracellular infections, an integrated approach is used, i.e. examination by 2-3 methods simultaneously.
