Headline: |
Study found that nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are still the most accurate and cost-effective method for diagnosing chlamydia infection; there may be circumstances in which point-of-care tests could be provided in addition to existing NAAT services, but there is currently little evidence on point-of-care methods in such settings |
