PRODUCT NAME:
Chlamydia Pneumoniae IgG Antibody Determination Kit
(Fluorescence Immunochromatographic Assay)
Abbreviation: CP-IgG
INTENDED USE:
Chlamydia Pneumoniae IgG Antibody Determination Kit is an in vitro
diagnostic test for qualitative detection of CP-IgG in human serum, plasma
and whole blood specimens.
Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP) is a new species named in 1989, it has only one
serotype, and the representative strain is TWAR. It is an important respiratory
pathogen. It is transmitted by droplets and mainly causes atypical pneumonia
in humans. It can also cause bronchitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis, otitis media,
iritis, hepatitis, myocarditis, endocarditis, and meningitis, erythema nodosum
and other diseases, and it is also one of the important pathogenic bacteria of
AIDS, leukemia and other secondary infections. In addition, epidemiological
and etiological studies believe that Chlamydia pneumoniae infection is related
to cardiovascular disease, which has attracted great attention from scholars
from all over the world.
Early chlamydia infection is characterized by the appearance of IgM
antibodies within 2 to 4 weeks, followed by IgA and IgG responses within 6
to 8 weeks. After acute infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae, IgM antibodies
will disappear within 2 to 6 months, IgG antibody titers will gradually decrease,
and IgA antibodies tend to disappear rapidly. By the time a patient presents
with symptoms, IgM levels are already high. Therefore, the detection of
Chlamydia pneumoniae IgG antibody can be used as an important diagnostic
indicator for the infection of Chlamydia pneumoniae.
