What is CHLAMYDIA ANTIGEN?
This test detects specific proteins (antigens) from the Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria, which causes a common sexually transmitted infection. It helps identify an active chlamydia infection, allowing for timely treatment.
Why is this test important?
Early detection of Chlamydia antigen is vital for preventing serious health complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy in women, and epididymitis in men. Prompt treatment can effectively cure the infection.
How to Prepare
For urine samples, it is recommended to collect the first-void urine (the first urine of the morning or after not urinating for at least 2-4 hours).
