Molecular diagnostics in general internists’ practice.

Diagnosis and treatment of respiratory infections are central to the internists’ work: more than 90% of all visits to outpatient care are related to colds. PCR testing for acute respiratory viral infections, including influenza A and B viruses and the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, is becoming a key diagnostic tool for a modern-day physician.

Certainly, internists’ job is not limited to treating respiratory diseases; PCR diagnostics is also effectively used to detect pathogens causing hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV and bacterial infections, including nosocomial ones. The PCR method allows for the rapid and accurate detection of pathogens at an early stage of infection, bypassing the serological window.

In addition, modern methods of molecular diagnostics expand the possibilities of internists in the field of genetics. Such studies make it possible to identify the genetic characteristics of a patient's metabolism, which may be relevant for selecting an individualized therapeutic approach and choosing the most effective treatment methods.

Our research

• Fungal infections

  A real-time PCR study makes it possible to identify the causative agent of infection with precision to the type in the shortest possible time for the correct selection of an antimycotic drug.
  
  

  • MycosoScreen
• Genetics

  PCR diagnostics opens up wide possibilities for identifying genetic mutations that play a crucial role in the development of various diseases. This allows not only to diagnose and prevent the development of diseases at an early stage, but also to provide an individual approach to treatment and the choice of drug therapy.
  
  

  • Folate Metabolism
  • Hemostasis
  • Calcium Metabolism
  • Warfarin Pharmacogenetics
  • Clopidogrel Pharmacogenetics
  • HYPERTENSION SUSCEPTIBILITY
• Identification of antibiotic resistance genes

  The GLA BAKRESIST study is designed to identify genes of resistance to glycopeptide and beta-lactam antibiotics in DNA preparations
  
  

  • BacResista GLA
• PCR diagnostics of nosocomial and community-acquired infections

  Opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms (UPM) cause infectious diseases similar in clinical manifestation, therefore it is impossible to accurately identify the pathogen without laboratory tests. Differential diagnosis is necessary for the selection of therapy, including in connection with the acquisition of new properties of UPM, such as antibiotic resistance and the ability to adhere and film formation.

• Respiratory tract infections

  PCR is the diagnosis of pathogens of acute respiratory diseases. Comprehensive studies are presented to identify a wide group of potential pathogens, as well as single tests for a specific type of virus or bacterium.
