Many inflammatory responses directed against chlamydial infection can cause tubal damage resulting in infertility. For example, chlamydial heat shock protein 60 (cHSP60) and cHSP10 along with humoral immune response. The aim of our study is to detect the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against Major Outer Membrane Protein (MOMP), cHSP60, and cHSP10 among female infertility.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total number of 230 female infertility patients attending the Outpatient Department of Reproductive Medicine, SRIHER, were included in the study.

The accuracy of TFI prediction could be increased by the detection of anti-MOMP and cHSP60 over cHSP10 among secondary infertility than primary. The most probable reason for high seropositivity among secondary infertility patients may be due to repeated infection and chronicity because of longer active sexual life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jgid.jgid_147_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]],"date-time":"2024-06-27T04:09:27Z","timestamp":1719461367000},"page":"68-72","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Detection of Chlamydial Heat Shock Protein 60 and 10 Antibody among Female Infertility"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Gopi","family":"Dhivya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, SRIHER, Chennai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kopula Sathyamoorthy","family":"Sridharan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, SRIHER, Chennai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjeeva Reddy","family":"Nellepalli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Reproductive Medicine and Surgery, Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, SRIHER, Chennai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.
