Description
Genital ulcers are lesions that appear on the genital organs and may be either painful or painless, depending on the cause. They can occur in both men and women and are often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and swollen lymph nodes. This service enables the detection of herpes viruses types 1, 2, and 3, cytomegalovirus, syphilis, the gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus ducreyi, and chlamydial (venereal) lymphogranuloma in a urogenital swab. Qualitative PCR testing allows for the detection of the pathogen’s genetic material and confirmation of its presence.
When and who needs the test?
- Suspected latent infection (pain, itching, blisters)
Unspecified symptoms
- Sexually active individuals (pain, ulcers, or abscesses on the genital organs);
- Suspected bacterial infections when no clear diagnosis is available after standard examination;
- Suspected infection in individuals with weakened immune systems (patients with HIV/AIDS, organ transplants); presence of painful and enlarged lymph nodes, especially in the groin area Genital ulcers that may be painless;
- Suspected latent or hidden stage of syphilis, especially in the absence of visible signs of infection Skin rashes or blisters that may be caused by chickenpox or shingles.
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.
