Methodology
PCR
The test is performed using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), a molecular technique renowned for its ability to amplify and detect minute quantities of genetic material. Key features of this methodology include:
* High Specificity: The test uses specific primers and probes to target a unique DNA sequence of Chlamydia pneumoniae, ensuring accurate identification without cross-reactivity with other bacteria.
* High Sensitivity: PCR can detect very low bacterial loads, making it an excellent tool for diagnosing infections in their early stages.
Sample Required
WB EDTA 3ml
The sample required for this test is:
* WB EDTA 3ml: Three milliliters of whole blood collected in a tube containing EDTA as an anticoagulant. While C. pneumoniae causes a respiratory infection, the bacteria can be found in the bloodstream, particularly in the early stages, making a blood sample a viable and convenient option for detection.
Preparation
* No Fasting Required: The test does not require any specific dietary restrictions. * Patient Preparation: There is no special patient preparation required. A standard venipuncture (blood draw) will b... Read more
