TL;DR: In this paper, a serotyping test based on an indirect immunofluorescence technique using relatively monospecific anti-chlamydial sera obtained after inoculation of the tail vein of mice with suspensions of chlamydials antigens was presented.

The role of serology, antibiotic susceptibility testing and serovar determination in genital chlamydial infections.
TL;DR: C. trachomatis infections can be successfully treated by tetracycline or macrolides, and the problem of emerging antibiotic resistance cannot be neglected.

Role of Chlamydia trachomatis in non-acute prostatitis.
TL;DR: In the seven patients with evidence of chlamydial infection, as well as in a further 13 of the 53 patients studied, the presenting symptoms suggested non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) rather than prostatitis, so C. trachomatis would appear to play a minor aetiological role, if any, in non-acute prost atitis.

Single-antigen immunofluorescence test for chlamydial antibodies.

TL;DR: Results with a total of 1,241 human sera from different groups were consistent with findings by earlier methods, and 82% of chlamydia-positive men with nongonococcal urethritis had antibodies at titers of greater than or equal to 8.
Antibodies to Chalmydia Trachomatis in Acute Salpingitis
Abstract: Recent isolation studies have shown Chlamydia trachomatis to be an important aetiological agent in acute salpingitis in women. The present serological study indicates that C. trachomatis is the probable aetiological agent in two-thirds of 143 women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). In general, high levels of chlamydial antibody were found in sera and fluids aspirated from the pouch of Douglas and such antibody titres were shown to correlate with the severity of clinically graded tubal inflammation.

Rapid diagnosis of chlamydial infection of the cervix.
TL;DR: This sensitive, low-cost, rapid, and simple serodiagnostic test for the presumptive diagnosis of chlamydial infection of the cervix, coupled with transportation of specimens by post, offers advantages over conventional isolation techniques for the routine diagnosis and management of chamydial genital infections.
