Laboratory diagnosis is usually not required.
2nd order laboratory parameters – depending on the results of the history, physical examination and obligatory laboratory parameters – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Detection of viral DNA by biopsy material.
- 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).
Other laboratory tests – depending on the results of the medical history, physical examination, etc. – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Bacteria
- Chlamydia trachomatis (lymphogranuloma venereum) – Serology: chlamydia trachomatis,
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea, gonorrhea) – genital swab for pathogen and resistance, specifically for Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
- Treponema pallidum (syphilis, lues) – antibodies against Treponema pallidum (TPHA, VDRL, etc.).
- Ureaplasma urealyticum
- Viruses
- HIV (AIDS)
- Herpes simplex virus type 1/2 (HSV type 1 u. 2)
- Fungi / parasites
- Fungi: Candida albicans et al. Candida species genital smear – pathogen and resistance.
- Trichomonas vaginalis (trichomoniasis, colpitis) – antigen detection.
Caution. In case of proven genital HPV infection, a partner examination is required!
