Chlamydia Trachomatis IgG antibodies

Chlamydia 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. A mother infected with chlamydia can transmit it to her newborn during childbirth. Anyone who is sexually active can become infected with chlamydia, and the greater the number of sexual partners, the greater the risk of infection. Adolescents and young women are at the highest risk of contracting the infection due to their immature cervix, which is more susceptible to infection.

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