Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacterium that can cause various sexually transmitted infections, including genital chlamydia. When the immune system detects an infection, it produces antibodies as a defense mechanism. Antibodies are proteins that recognize and bind to specific foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses, to help eliminate them from the body. IgM (Immunoglobulin M) is one type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to an initial infection. It is the first antibody class to be generated when a person is exposed to an antigen, which is a foreign substance that triggers an immune response. IgM antibodies are usually produced in larger quantities and provide an early line of defense against infections.
The Anti Chlamydia Antibody IgM Test cost is Rs.500, although it is now available for Rs.300 because of the offer.
