Chlamydia Trachomatis DNA Detection by Real Time PCR

This test measures the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis DNA in your sample, indicating an active infection. Detecting this bacteria helps diagnose sexually transmitted infections promptly, guides treatment decisions and prevents complications like pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.

Chlamydia trachomatis DNA detection by real time PCR is done to:

• Diagnose chlamydia trachomatis infections
• Prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections
• Guide appropriate treatment for infected individuals

Chlamydia trachomatis DNA detection by PCR is recommended in following cases:

• If you have symptoms like genital discharge, burning sensation while urinating, or pelvic pain
• If you've had unprotected sexual contact with someone diagnosed with a chlamydia infection
• If you're sexually active and want to ensure your sexual health

Abnormal result represents presence of chlamydia trachomatis DNA, indicating an active infection that requires further evaluation by a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment.

During this test:

• A swab sample is taken from your genital area for analysis
• The swab is processed using Real-Time PCR to detect Chlamydia Trachomatis DNA

There are no specific preparations required for the test. However, it is recommended that you consult with your healthcare provider before taking the test, as they may have specific instructions or recommendations based on your individual medical history and current health status.

• Gonorrhoea Testing: Detects Neisseria gonorrhoeae, often co-transmitted with Chlamydia
• HIV Testing: Advised if at risk of sexually transmitted infections
• Syphilis Testing: Screens for another common sexually transmitted infection
