A member asked:
Got a vaginal swab done for chlamydia retest. chlamydia came back negative. but positive for proteus mirabilis. could that possibly hidden chlamydia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chlamydia: There are several means of testing for chlamydia and without knowing what method your doctor used cannot be definitive, but if they used culture (uncommon) proteus mirabilis could interfere. Nucleic acid amplification or hybridazation tests, elisa assays or direct fluorescent antibody testing tests are more common and would not be affected by proteus.
