OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASES

In addition to testing for sexually transmitted diseases, we also offer testing for hepatitis A, B and C. This inflammatory liver disease can be caused by a viral infection. We also offer TORCH testing for pregnant women to detect the presence/level of antibodies linked to the following infectious diseases: Toxoplasmosis, Epstein-Barr virus, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes simplex virus. These diseases are a great risk, especially for pregnant women and can cause birth defects in newborns.

Hepatitis A, B, C

Hepatitis is an inflammatory disease of the liver that can be caused by viral infection, toxins, congenital diseases, drugs, alcohol abuse or autoimmune processes. The most common viral hepatitis are hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Depending on the course of the disease, they are divided into acute, which resolves within a few weeks or months, and chronic, which can persist for many years. Typical symptoms include fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, dark-coloured urine or light-coloured stools. With microbiological analysis, antibody levels and acute infection can be detected, allowing appropriate preventive or therapeutic measures to be taken.

You will receive the result within 3 working days.

TORCH - infectious disease test

The TORCH test aims to detect the presence/level of antibodies linked to the following infectious diseases: Toxoplasmosis, Other (Epstein-Barr virus), Rubeola virus, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes simplex virus. The individual letters TORCH correspond to the first letters of the infectious diseases or their causative agents. These diseases are a major risk, especially for pregnant women, but can also cause birth defects in newborns. Diseases can be contracted, for example, by contact with a cat, by eating unwashed fruit and vegetables, by contact with a sick adult or child, or by contact with a person without any symptoms.

Parvovirus B19 (antibody test)

Venous blood test for the presence of anamnestic IgG and IgM antibodies to parvovirus B19, which is mainly known as the causative agent of the so-called fifth disease (erythema infectiosum), manifested by a rash, increased temperature, headache and muscle pain. 

The virus is spread by direct contact, droplet or transplacental spread. Another way is through transmission by blood or blood derivatives or during pregnancy from mother to fetus. Testing will demonstrate ongoing or recent infection with this virus and is particularly appropriate for persons at increased risk of developing complications related to this viral infection. It is also applicable to test pregnant women and fetuses where infection may be linked to maternal illness.

Respiratory panel

The PCR test from the throat/nasopharynx allows rapid and accurate detection of pathogens causing the most common respiratory infections in our country: SARS-CoV-2 (the causative agent of Covid-19), Influenza A, Influenza B and RSV-virus.

By identifying the exact causative agent of the respiratory disease, more targeted therapy can be given to the patient.
