Description

A PCR panel for men with genital ulcer symptoms allows for the accurate detection of seven pathogens: HSV-1/2, Treponema pallidum, CMV, VZV, Haemophilus ducreyi, and LGV. This analysis helps determine the cause of the lesion and select targeted treatment. This panel can be used to identify any underlying conditions, such as discharge or chronic inflammatory processes.

The "Genital Ulcer" PCR panel for men is a comprehensive test designed to identify seven main pathogens associated with the formation of ulcerative lesions in the anogenital area: Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, Haemophilus ducreyi (chancroid), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Lymphogranuloma venereum (lymphogranuloma venereum), Treponema pallidum (syphilis), and Varicella-zoster virus (herpes virus type 3).

HSV-1/HSV-2 is one of the most common causes of genital ulcers, often accompanied by flu-like symptoms during primary infection. In women, it affects the external genitalia, urethra, and anogenital area. Particular attention is paid to diagnosis during pregnancy planning and in pregnant women;
Haemophilus ducreyi causes chancroid, a sexually transmitted disease characterized by painful ulcers and swollen lymph nodes. Rapid detection of the pathogen is essential to prevent complications;
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, and individuals with weakened immune systems. It can be asymptomatic or cause severe systemic damage;
Chlamydia trachomatis (LGV variant) affects the lymph nodes and soft tissues of the urogenital tract. It is characterized by systemic manifestations and localized ulcerative lesions;
Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis, is transmitted primarily through sexual contact. It can also be transmitted transplacentally or through casual contact. Early detection is critical to preventing the progression of the infection;
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox and herpes zoster. After the initial infection, it remains latent with the potential for reactivation as a painful herpes rash, especially in older women.

This test allows for rapid identification of the cause of genital ulcers, the prescription of targeted therapy, an assessment of the infectious risk to sexual partners, and the prevention of complicationses pecially important during pregnancy, with frequent relapses, or in patients with weakened immunity.

When and who needs the test?

Men with genital ulcers, erosions, rashes, or pain in the genital area;
If herpes, syphilis, lymphogranuloma venereum, chancroid, or other STIs are suspected;
For recurrent ulcerative lesions of unknown etiology;
For differential diagnosis before initiating therapy;
Before invasive urological procedures or when planning fatherhood.

Biological material

Scrapes from various sites depending on the test

Preparing for urogenital sampling

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...
