Chlamydia test

The Chlamydia test is an examination method that checks whether the human body is infected with Chlamydia and provides a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with mycoplasma infection. Basic Information Specialist classification: Infectious disease examination and classification: immunological examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Actively exercise and strengthen your body's resistance. Normal value Health, no abnormal performance. Clinical significance Abnormal results: yellow urine, reddish urethra, frequent urination, incontinence, urinary tract pain, burning sensation, urine drip. People in need of examination: patients suspected of having chlamydial infection. Precautions Taboo before inspection: (1) Actively and systematically exercise. Actively exercising and strengthening the body's resistance can reduce the infection of mycoplasma chlamydia and the normal life of the parasitic body. (2) talk about hygiene to avoid cross-infection. Develop good hygiene habits, and pay attention to unclean sexual intercourse and other infections. Requirements for examination: Actively cooperate with the doctor, if you need to actively treat after diagnosis, so as not to cause great harm to the reproductive health system. Inspection process Commonly used examination methods are chlamydia culture, direct fluorescent antibody detection, enzyme-labeled immunoassay, and DNA probe and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). (1) Chlamydia culture Since Chlamydia trachomatis is parasitic in cells, it can only be cultured in tissues. The culture of Chlamydia should be more than 0.5cm in the male urethra. The method of culture is more complicated, but there are few false positives, so the diagnosis rate is high. (2) Direct fluorescent antibody detection This is the most widely used test method in non-culture methods. This method is easy to operate and has good specificity, especially when detecting infections in the endometrium and fallopian tubes. It can also be used for the detection of semen, rectal specimens, and specimens that inactivate chlamydia due to transportation or storage. The downside is that the results are subject to subjective factors and require an experienced inspector. (3) enzyme-labeled immune response This is currently the most widely used detection method. The advantages of this method are fast, convenient, inexpensive and batch detection. PCR PCR multiplies the target DNA or RNA sequence with a limited number of specimens by a million magnification, which greatly increases the sensitivity. This law has strict requirements on laboratories. Not suitable for the crowd Generally there are no people who are not suitable. Adverse reactions and risks Generally no adverse reactions.
