  • Title: Significance of immunoglobulin A titres in the diagnosis of urogenital chlamydial infections.
    Author: Scheel O, Anestad G.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis; 1989 Aug; 8(8):726-8. PubMed ID: 2506042.
    Abstract:
    The significance of chlamydial serum IgA compared with IgM and IgG in the diagnosis of urogenital chlamydial infection was evaluated using 120 sera from different categories of patients. In urethritis patients both IgM and IgA antibodies were not found to be present consistently, whereas in patients with deep-seated chlamydial infection, IgA was more often present. Although of limited value in superficial infections, demonstration of IgA antibodies may be of value in the diagnosis of deep-seated chlamydial infections.
