Can chlamydia show in hospital blood tests?

Chlamydia typically does not show up in standard blood tests. Instead, it is usually diagnosed through urine tests or swabs from the affected area, such as the cervix or urethra. Blood tests may be used to check for complications or co-infections, but they are not the primary method for detecting chlamydia itself. If you suspect an infection, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for appropriate testing.
