2001
: During examination of 60 children aged 3-15 years with manifestations of acute bronchitis Chlamydia pneumoniae antigen was detected in their nasal and pharynx smears in 11.7% of cases with the use of enzyme immunoassay and indirect immunofluorescence test. In 10% of cases chlamydial pneumonia was diagnosed serologically. In the course of complex laboratory diagnostics C. pneumoniae was detected in 13.3% of cases. The most complete information could be obtained by a combination of different methods of the antigen detection as well as specific IgG and IgM antibodies.
