Chlamydia Trachomatis IgG antibodies

Chlamydia – this is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia Trachomatis. This infection is transmitted during all types of sexual intercourse – vaginal, anal, and oral. An infected mother can also transmit it to a newborn during childbirth. Any sexually active person can become infected with chlamydia, and the higher the number of sexual partners, the greater the risk of infection. Teenagers and young women are at the highest risk of infection due to an immature cervix, which is more susceptible to infection.

Antibodies in the blood are found 6-8 weeks after the onset of the disease. The IgG antibody titer decreases slowly and can be detected for several years.
