Chlamydia is the most common STD in the Netherlands. People with frequently changing sexual partners are at greatest risk. This Chlamydia self-test is suitable for sampling the cervix and can therefore only be used by women. Chlamydia is often without symptoms, but can have serious consequences, such as blindness and even infertility. Mothers can also transmit chlamydia to
their unborn babies. Particularly important is the treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis infections during pregnancy. About 50% of infected mothers pass the infection on to the newborn. Common complications in babies are inflamed mucosa of the eyes and pneumonia.
This test detects the presence of the Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria and meets the requirements of the directive 98/79/EC. After clinical study with 596 participants, this test showed a diagnostic sensitivity of 85.7% and a diagnostic specificity of 98.3% established.
