Chlamydia trachomatis

This test uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to detect the genetic material of Chlamydia trachomatis in clinical samples. It is a highly accurate method for identifying current infection.

Samples may include urine or site-specific swabs, depending on the clinical situation and collection requirements.

The findings related to these particular clinical tests are a general guide and do not cover every possible scenario, this is because every patient is unique and these results only have true clinical significance when combined with the patient’s full medical history, a physical exam, and other diagnostic findings.
