Chlamydia Qualitative PCR
Introduction to Chlamydia Qualitative PCR
The Chlamydia Qualitative PCR test is a vital diagnostic procedure designed to detect the presence of the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, which is responsible for one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) globally. This test is crucial for early detection and treatment, helping to prevent complications such as infertility and chronic pelvic pain.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes the End Point PCR method, which is a highly sensitive technique that amplifies the DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis from various sample types, including urine, eye, endocervical and urethral swabs, and semen. By detecting the genetic material of the bacterium, the test provides accurate results, confirming the presence or absence of the infection.

Individuals who should consider the Chlamydia Qualitative PCR test include:
- Those experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge, burning sensation during urination, or pelvic pain.
- Sexually active individuals, particularly those with multiple partners.
- Women planning to conceive or those who are pregnant, as untreated Chlamydia can affect pregnancy outcomes.
- Individuals with a history of STIs or those who engage in unprotected sex.

- Early detection and treatment of Chlamydia can prevent serious health complications.
- Confidentiality and convenience with options for home sample collection.
