Lymphogranuloma Venereum (LGV) Differentiation Antibody Panel, MIF
Test Summary
Lymphogranuloma venerum (LGV) is a clinical syndrome caused by infection with C. trachomatis which typically includes genital bubonic disease. The serologic detection of C. trachomatis infection is complicated by the presence of cross-reactive antibody to other Chlamydia species or nonspecific stimulation of anti-Chlamydia Ab. To differentiate C. trachomatis infection from other Chlamydia species, a panel of Chlamydia is tested for the determination of specific antibody titers.
