PCR on sexually transmitted diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted from an infected person to a healthy person through sexual intercourse (vaginal, oral or anal), contact with infected blood and secretions, sharing intimate hygiene items, needles and syringes in intravenous addicts, from an infected pregnant woman to a child during pregnancy and childbirth.
The most common sexually transmitted diseases
“Classic” diseases – syphilis and gonorrhea have been overshadowed by the worldwide sexually transmitted infection with human papilloma viruses (HPV), herpes viruses infections, HIV infections, chlamydia infections, ureaplasma infections and mycoplasma infections. Therefore, today the most important causes of sexually transmitted diseases are viruses (HIV, HSV, HPV, HBV, HCV), and the most common and most dangerous bacterial sexually transmitted infection is genital inflammation with Chlamydia trachomatis.
In Analiza, we perform molecular PCR analyzes on the most common pathogens of sexually transmitted infections:
HPV (Human papillomavirus) high and low risk – detection and genotyping |
HSV (Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2) |
Chlamydia trachomatis |
Neisseria gonorrhoeae |
Gardnerella vaginalis |
Mycoplasma hominis |
Mycoplasma genitalium |
Ureaplasma urealyticum |
Trichomonas vaginalis |
Candida albicans |
Mycoplasma hominis + Mycoplasma genitalium |
Mycoplasma hominis + Ureaplasma urealyticum |
Mycoplasma genitalium + Ureaplasma urealyticum |
Mycoplasma hominis + Ureaplasma urealyticum + Mycoplasma genitalium |
Candida albicans + Gardnerella vaginalis |
