Question: What do these test results mean?
Brief Answer:
The test shows-no past or present infection with Chlamydia trachomatis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
The report posted by you is a serological test for Chlamydia trachomatis.
Chlamydia trachomatis is a protozoa which causes trachoma - an infection of eye and eye-lids.
Serological test detects antibody against the antigen present in Chlamydia trachomatis.
The antibodies should be present in certain titres e.g. 1:64 etc.
The test is testing three antibodies.
Ig M antibody is elevated in recent infection.
Ig G is elevated in past infection.
All three antibodies are within normal range and thus, there is no evidence of past or present infection with Chlamydia trachomatis.
If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.
