Test Overview & Methodology
This serology panel measures IgG and IgM antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis (genitourinary and ocular infections) and Chlamydophila pneumoniae (respiratory infections) using a gold‑standard immunofluorescence assay (IFA). It differentiates acute from past exposure and is essential for diagnosing pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and atypical pneumonia.
The quantitative IFA method delivers ≥99.9% sensitivity and specificity, surpassing conventional ELISA/EIA by reducing cross‑reactivity and enabling precise antibody titre measurement.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Serology is a powerful diagnostic tool, but results must always be correlated with clinical presentation. A positive IgG without symptoms often reflects past resolved infection; isolated IgM should be interpreted cautiously due to potential cross‑reactivity. For acute genital or respiratory symptoms, combine this panel with NAAT testing for definitive diagnosis.”

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue any prescribed antibiotic or immunomodulator without consulting your doctor. Serological results do not replace clinical judgment and should be used in conjunction with a full clinical evaluation.
