UROGENITAL 7 - DNA Identification of 7 Urogenital Pathogens

What is a Urogenital Panel?

A urogenital panel is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of specific pathogens responsible for urogenital infections. These infections can affect the urinary and genital tracts and are often sexually transmitted. The panel typically screens for the following pathogens:

1. Chlamydia trachomatis - A bacterium that causes chlamydia, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI).
2. Neisseria gonorrhoeae - The bacterium responsible for gonorrhea, another prevalent STI.
3. Mycoplasma genitalium - A bacterium without a cell wall that causes urogenital infections.
4. Mycoplasma hominis - A bacterium that can cause infections in the cervix or urethra in women, and non-gonococcal urethritis in men.
5. Ureaplasma urealyticum - A bacterium that leads to non-gonococcal urethritis and can cause pelvic inflammatory disease in women.
6. Ureaplasma parvum - A bacterium that is known to cause infections in the genital and urinary tracts.
7. Trichomonas vaginalis - A protozoan parasite that causes trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection.

Indications for Urogenital Panel Testing

The urogenital panel is particularly recommended for:

• Individuals experiencing recurrent or difficult-to-diagnose urogenital infections.
• Those with a diagnosed intimate infection, to check for potential co-infections (simultaneous infections caused by more than one pathogen), which are common in such cases.
• Pregnant women or those planning pregnancy, as urogenital infections can pose risks to pregnancy or fertility.
• Sexually active healthy individuals as part of preventive screenings.
• Individuals presenting with symptoms that suggest a urogenital tract infection.

The urogenital panel allows for precise identification of the pathogens causing the aforementioned conditions. Based on the results, a healthcare provider can make a diagnosis and implement appropriate treatment. Diseases caused by the pathogens included in the panel can lead to serious health complications, including infertility, if left untreated.
