The accuracy of Chlamydia trachomatis antibody test in predicting tubal factor infertility (TFI) is limited, and more accurate methods are needed. Cell‐mediated immune response (CMI) is crucial in the resolution of pathogen, but it may play an important role in the pathogenesis of C trachomatis‐associated tubal damage. We studied whether combining the markers of C trachomatis‐induced CMI to humoral immune response improves the accuracy of serology in TFI prediction.
