    What Is the Chlamydia Trachomatis antibody IgM Test?

    Chlamydia, caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis , is among the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is most often transmitted during vaginal, oral, or anal sex with someone infected with the bacteria. Many people do not show symptoms, making it easy for the infection to spread unknowingly. Pregnant individuals with chlamydia can pass the infection on to their newborns during delivery, which could lead to complications. While chlamydia is treatable with medication, if left untreated, it can result in severe health issues in the long term, such as infertility in women and, in rare cases, reactive arthritis.

    A Chlamydia IgM test can be used to detect the infection early, allowing for prompt treatment to prevent further complications.

    For those who are sexually active and living in Delhi, a Chlamydia IgM test offers a simple way to protect your health and peace of mind.

    Chlamydia Trachomatis antibody IgM Test Parameters

    The Chlamydia Trachomatis Antibody IgM test is a diagnostic tool used to identify recent infections caused by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium. It specifically detects IgM antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis , which are produced by the body as an immediate immune response to harmful bacteria. These antibodies offer short-term protection and help the immune system fight the infection while more specialised antibodies for long-term protection are produced. IgM antibodies are found in both blood and lymph fluid, which transport immune cells throughout the body to fight infections.

    The presence of IgM antibodies specific to Chlamydia trachomatis indicates a recent or active infection, even when no symptoms are evident.

    Early detection is critical to avoid complications such as infertility and prevent the transmission of the infection to others.
