Laboratory assay overview

This test employs immunofluorescence to detect IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies to Chlamydia pneumoniae in human serum. C pneumoniae has been implicated as one of the agents of atypical pneumonia and may be responsible for as many as 10% of all hospitalized and outpatient cases of pneumonia. Additionally, it may also be responsible for sinusitis and otitis.

Laboratory assay overview

Chlamydia/Chlamydophila species include C. pneumoniae, C. psittaci, and C. trachomatis. Each may cause pneumonia and other overlapping medical conditions.

Turnaround
Set up: Mon-Fri

Laboratory assay overview

Lymphogranuloma venerum (LGV) is a clinical syndrome caused by infection with C. trachomatis which typically includes genital bubonic disease. The serologic detection of C. trachomatis infection is complicated by the presence of crossreactive antibody to other Chlamydia species or nonspecific stimulation of anti-Chlamydia Ab. To differentiate C. trachomatis infection from other Chlamydia species, a panel of Chlamydia is tested for the determination of specific antibody titers.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
