DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR MANIFEST AND ASYMPTOMATIC FORMS OF URETHRITIS CAUSED BY OPPORTUNISTIC MICROORGANISMS IN MALES OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C12Q1/68 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: leukocyte count is determined. The real-time PCR is used to determine a total number of genomes of microorganisms, a number of normobiot and opportunistic biot genomes. The derived total number of genomes of microorganisms is compared to the normal value -10^4.5-5.0. The number of normobiot and opportunistic biot genomes is compared with the total number of genomes of microorganisms and with each other. The total number of genomes of microorganisms more than 10^4.5-5.0, the number of normobiot genomes more than 10 times lesser than that, the number of opportunistic biot genomes equal to the total number of genomes or less than in 10 times lesser, and the number of genomes of opportunistic microorganisms exceeding the number of normobiot genomes more than 10 times greater, urethritis caused by opportunistic microorganisms is diagnosed. If observing manifested clinical symptoms and PML count more than 5 as shown by microscopy results, its manifest form is diagnosed, while the absence or the insufficient degree of manifestation of clinical symptoms and PML count more than 5, an asymptomatic form is diagnosed.

EFFECT: use of the technique allows early prescription of the adequate etiotropic therapy and avoided developing complications.
