Chlamydia trachomatis antibody

Chlamydia trachomatis antibody refers to a specific antibody produced after intracellular parasitic Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Chlamydia trachomatis is the main pathogenic microorganism of trachoma. Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies are generally lurking in the body's immune system, and their existence usually ranges from a few months to a few years, and sometimes even ten to several decades. When our body is again attacked by Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies appear to destroy mycoplasma, thereby protecting our body from damage. However, Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies are not omnipotent. If Chlamydia trachomatis inflicts more than the control of Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies, people will reappear symptoms of Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Basic Information Specialist Category: Ophthalmic Examination Category: Immunological Examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: Normal: Chlamydia trachomatis is negative. Positive: Abnormal: positive: seen in trachoma, adult inclusion body conjunctivitis, male urethritis, female cervicitis and salpingitis, sexually transmitted lymphogranuloma. Tips: Do not eat too greasy, high-protein foods the day before the blood draw, avoid heavy drinking. The alcohol content in the blood directly affects the test results. Normal value Chlamydia trachomatis is negative. Clinical significance Specific antibodies can be detected in the serum of patients infected with Chlamydia trachomatis. lgM appeared earlier, lasting about 1 month, and its positive suggestive of recent infection with Chlamydia trachomatis can be used as an early diagnosis indicator; lgG appears later and lasts longer, and can be used for retrospective diagnosis and epidemiological investigation. Positive in trachoma, adult inclusion body conjunctivitis, male urethritis, female cervicitis and salpingitis, sexually transmitted lymphogranuloma. Positive results may be diseases: precautions for neonatal chlamydial infection First, the precautions before blood draw: 1, do not eat too greasy, high-protein food the day before the blood, to avoid heavy drinking. The alcohol content in the blood directly affects the test results. 2. After 8 pm on the day before the medical examination, you should start fasting for 12 hours to avoid affecting the test results. 3, should relax when taking blood, to avoid the contraction of blood vessels caused by fear, increase the difficulty of blood collection. Second, after blood draw should pay attention to: 1. After blood is drawn, local compression is required at the pinhole for 3-5 minutes to stop bleeding. Note: Do not rub, so as not to cause subcutaneous hematoma. 2, the pressing time should be sufficient. There is a difference in clotting time for each person, and some people need a little longer to clotting. Therefore, when the surface of the skin appears to be bleeding, the compression is stopped immediately, and the blood may be infiltrated into the skin due to incomplete hemostasis. Therefore, the compression time is longer to completely stop bleeding. If there is a tendency to bleed, the compression time should be extended. 3, after the blood draw symptoms of fainting such as: dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, etc. should immediately lie down, drink a small amount of syrup, and then undergo a physical examination after the symptoms are relieved. 4. If there is localized congestion, use a warm towel after 24 hours to promote absorption. 3. Please inform the doctor about the recent medication and special physiological changes before the test.
