ESTRADA-MESA, Santiago; JARAMILLO-GOMEZ, Angélica  and  LOPEZ-JARAMILLO, Catalina. The diagnosis of Sexually Transmitted Infections by the molecular biology technique is the best strategy for its timely and specific diagnosis. A clinical case. Infect. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, pp.135-137.  Epub May 10, 2021. ISSN 0123-9392.  https://doi.org/10.22354/in.v25i2.932.

Here we report the case of a patient with a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STI) in whom four different agents were detected by a multiple PCR technique: Neisseria gonorreae, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum / parvum and Trichomonas vaginalis. This detection of multiple agents would not have been possible using conventional procedures.

Keywords : Urethritis (man); multiplex PCR; Neisseria gonorreae; Mycoplasma hominis; Ureaplasma urealyticum/ parvum; Trichomonas vaginalis.
