What is Chlamydophila pneumoniae PCR?

This PCR test detects the genetic material (DNA) of Chlamydophila pneumoniae, a bacterium that commonly causes respiratory infections. It's a highly sensitive method to identify an active infection directly from a swab sample.

A positive result indicates an active Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection, which can lead to pneumonia, bronchitis, or other respiratory illnesses. Early detection allows for prompt and effective treatment.

How to Prepare

Follow your healthcare provider's instructions for swab collection.
