3102. PCR. Ureaplasma spesies (prostatic fluid, quantification)
Important information
*For testing, the brougt-in biomaterial is taken
Description
A molecular genetic study that allows for the detection of Ureaplasma DNA in a material sample with copy number quantification. Quantitative DNA analysis makes it possible to distinguish between asymptomatic carriage and disease (ureaplasmosis), assess the role of Ureaplasma species in the development of urogenital inflammatory processes, and choose an appropriate treatment strategy.
Detection of Ureaplasma species by PCR is an analysis that enables the identification of whether the patient’s body contains microorganisms of two species: Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum.
When and who needs the test?
The sensitivity of PCR in detecting Ureaplasma is higher than that of the culture method and allows for rapid identification of the genetic material of both viable and non-viable microorganisms, as well as determination of their quantity and species. Polymerase chain reaction with quantitative detection of bacterial DNA enables not only the identification of Ureaplasma in the body, but also the assessment of their quantity. This is essential for confirming the role of Ureaplasma species in the development of inflammatory processes, evaluating the necessity of therapy, selecting the appropriate treatment strategy, and assessing the effectiveness of previously administered treatment.
Biological material
- Prostatic secretion
Preparing for prostate secretion testing
- The material should be collected before the start of treatment with antibacterial/antimycotic drugs (general and local).
- In the case of control treatment – after the end of the course of antibacterial/antimycotic drugs after 14 days.
- Continue to refrain from ejaculation for 3 days.
- During the day, avoid...
