HPV Diagnostics

Laboratory parameters of the 1st order – obligatory laboratory tests

  • Human pallioma virus DNA detection (from biopsy material)HPV types are divided into two groups based on their potential to induce malignant genital disease: HIGH RISK types: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68 LOW RISK types: 6, 11, 42, 43, 44.
  • Histological examination (from removed tissue).

Laboratory parameters 2nd order – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, etc. – for differential diagnostic clarification.

  • Bacteria
    Chlamydia trachomatis (lymphogranuloma venereum) – serology: Chlamydia trachomatis, HSV type 1 u. 2; Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea, gonorrhea) – genital smear for pathogens and resistance, especially for Neisseria gonorrhoeae; Treponema pallidum (lues, syphillis) – antibodies against Treponema pallidum (TPHA, VDRL, etc.; Ureaplasma urealyticum.
  • Viruses HIV (AIDS), herpes simplex virus type 1/2 (genital herpes),
  • Parasites
    Fungi: Candida albicans and other Candida species genital smear – pathogen and resistance); Trichomonas vaginalis (trichomoniasis, colpitis) – antigen detection;

Caution. If genital HPV infection is detected, partner testing is required!
