Figure Lengend Snippet: Dynamics of anti-Pgp3 antibody in C. trachomatis new infection (A) and reinfection (B) . Dynamics of anti-Pgp3 antibody was analyzed in 17 newly CT-infected subjects and 10 CT reinfected subjects. Purple lines indicate the subjects who were seropositive for anti-Pgp3 during the follow-up, whereas blue lines indicate those with seroreversion. Black line represents the dynamics of antibody change estimated by GEE model analysis in which the solid lines mean the trend of antibody change is statistically significant while dash lines mean no statistically significant. In addition, dot lines indicate the cutoff value of anti-Pgp3 IgG antibody (Log2 RLU = 4.1). Slopes were estimated by GEE models.
