1st order laboratory parameters – obligatory laboratory tests.
- Microscopic detection of the bacteria by immunofluorescence test (IFT).
- Chlamydia trachomatis IgM, IgG and IgA antibodies.
- Chlamydia PCR (molecular genetic method), this allows the reliable direct detection of the pathogen DNA from the secretion of the cervix or urine.
Laboratory parameters 2nd order – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, etc. – for differential diagnostic clarification.
