A negative Chlamydia trachomatis antigen test indicates that the individual is not infected with chlamydia. Chlamydia is a pathogen that can cause abnormalities in the eyes, urinary system, and reproductive system. If a patient is infected with Chlamydia trachomatis, the infection may be relatively mild, but it cannot completely eliminate trachoma in the patient. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep hands clean. Additionally, if a patient experiences the aforementioned symptoms, prompt medical treatment at a hospital is recommended.
