| Abstract | Detection of chlamydial infections depends on the sensitivity of the techniques used. Variables include the number of body sites sampled, the number of samples obtained, and the number of passages in tissue culture. To assess these factors, microdilution plate cultures with a single blind passage were performed on specimens from 10,291 men and women attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic. Overall, 21% of the men and 30% of the women were culture positive. However, 18% of endocervical, 28% of female urethral, and 29% of male urethral cultures that were positive became so only after a single passage. Of culture-positive women, 23% were positive at the urethra only. Pooled urethral and endocervical specimens were positive more often than an endocervical specimen alone but less often than separately cultured endocervical and urethral specimens. A total of 221 specimens from 92 men and 66 women were subjected to five serial blind passages. Of 83 positive specimens, 29 (35%) were positive only after two or more passages. A total of 37 (46%) women were culture-positive, but only 12 (33%) of those who were positive and had an endocervical culture would have been detected by a single endocervical culture that was not passaged. The sensitivity of chlamydial culture is substantially less than 100% but can be improved by culturing samples from both the urethra and endocervix in women and by serial passage in tissue culture. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
