Abstract

For the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae(NG), Chlamydia trachomat is(CT) and Ureaplasma urealyticum(UU) in urogenital infection in one specimen, multiple primer PCR was used in 156 sex transmitted disease patients, it was shown that in 156 specimens there were 40 NG positive and 31 CT positive and 27 UU positive, 10 NG + CT positive, 4 NG + UU positive, 3 CT + UU positive and 2 NG + CT + UU positive respectively. The results were in correspondence with each other. It is suggested that multiple primer PCR is a quick, sensitive, simple and specific technique which can be applied in clinical test.
