Can recent blood works show past Chlamydial infection?
Patient: Three years ago, before i met my husband, I was diagnosed with Chlamydia.  I have been treated and it is gone.  I am now pregnant, had my first OB appt.  they did the DNA probe for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, and a lot of blood work.  Will these tests show I have had it in the past, even if I don't have it anymore?  NO ONE knows I have had it once.  Not my OB, not my husband. Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThere are tests that can detect present  infection or past infection. It is likely that your doctor is looking for present not past infection.It is not likely that the test would detect the previous infection.I hope this helps
