    What Is the Chlamydia Trachomatis antibody IgM Test?

    Chlamydia, caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis , is one of the most widespread sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It can be transmitted via vaginal, oral, or anal sex with an infected person. Many people with chlamydia experience no symptoms, which makes it easy to unknowingly pass the infection on to others. If a pregnant person has chlamydia, they can transmit the infection to their baby during childbirth, which may result in complications. Although chlamydia can be treated effectively with medical care, if left untreated, it may cause severe long-term health problems, including infertility in women, and, in rare cases, reactive arthritis. A Chlamydia IgM test can be used to detect the infection early and prevent these serious health issues.

    For those living in Mumbai and sexually active, taking a Chlamydia IgM test is a proactive step for peace of mind and overall health protection.

    Chlamydia Trachomatis antibody IgM Test Parameters

    The Chlamydia Trachomatis Antibody IgM test is used to identify recent infections caused by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium. It focuses on detecting a single parameter: the presence of IgM antibodies targeting Chlamydia trachomatis . IgM antibodies are the first line of defence produced by your body after being exposed to harmful bacteria like Chlamydia trachomatis . These antibodies offer temporary protection, helping your immune system fight the infection until it can produce more specialised antibodies for long-term immunity.

    IgM antibodies are present in both blood and lymph fluid, which transport immune cells throughout the body to combat infections. The test can detect these antibodies, indicating a recent or ongoing infection, even when symptoms are not present.

    Early detection is key to preventing complications, such as infertility, and stopping the spread of the infection to others.
