Chlamydia trachomatis
The test is designed for Chlamydia trachomatis DNA detection in human biological material by real-time PCR.
About Chlamydia trachomatis
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen and the most common etiological agent of bacterial sexually transmitted infections. Chlamydia exhibits tropism for columnar epithelium and can infect the mucous membranes of the urethra, cervical canal, rectum, oropharynx, and conjunctiva. The most frequent clinical manifestations are mucopurulent cervicitis in women and urethritis and prostatitis in men. Subjectively asymptomatic course of chlamydial infection is often observed in individuals of both sexes.
In the absence of treatment or if therapy is not initiated promptly, the infectious process can become ascending and/or chronic and be the cause of such severe complications as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, chronic prostatitis in men, and infertility in individuals of both sexes. PID increases the risk of developing adhesions, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and ectopic pregnancy. Chlamydial infection in pregnant women can lead to miscarriage and pregnancy loss, the development of fetoplacental insufficiency, intrauterine fetal infection, postpartum inflammatory diseases, and neonatal infections.
