    PCR analysis and its decoding

    PCR (full name — The polymerase chain reaction) is used to identify the pathogens of various infections in the DNA material:

    Deciphering analyzes on PCR

    • HIV;
    • viral hepatitis of all types;
    • infectious mononucleosis;
    • cytomegalovirus infection;
    • herpes;
    • urogenital infections — ureaplasmosis, chlamydia, garardnellosis, mycoplasmosis, trichomonosis;
    • tuberculosis;
    • Papillomavirus;
    • candidiasis;
    • Liseriosis and other.

    Direction for analysis can be given almost any specialist:

    • infectious,
    • dermatovenerologist,
    • gynecologist,
    • urologist,
    • phthisiare,
    • Gastrolologist,
    • Oncologist and others.

    Any biological fluid or environment of the body can become a material for PCR:

    • Cal,
    • urine,
    • blood,
    • Allocations taken from genitals and urinary tract,
    • sputum,
    • Spinal fluid,
    • Scuffers of the mucous membranes of all available organs and others.

    The essence of the method

    The material obtained is placed in amplifier — Special reactor, where, under the influence of certain enzymes, a chain reaction of doubling DNA microbial pathogen. As a result, it becomes quite a lot of it, and this amount gives back to decoding by comparing the result obtained with databases.

    Decoding results

    PCR analysis results can only be two: positive or negative.
    The case is considered to be positive when the DNA of the microorganism is found in the material under study, which caused the disease. This is a sign of either acute infection, or a microbe carrier.
    PCR analysis practically does not give erroneous results, it is distinguished by incredible accuracy and sensitivity.
