ANTI CHLAMYDIA ANTIBODY IGG

The anti-Chlamydia antibody (IgG) test detects the presence of IgG antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). The test is used to diagnose past or chronic infections, as IgG antibodies typically indicate previous exposure to the bacteria. A positive result suggests that the individual has been infected with Chlamydia in the past and may have developed immunity. This test is valuable for identifying individuals at risk of complications from untreated infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and epididymitis in men. It helps guide appropriate treatment and prevention strategies.
