Accuracy
The accuracy of any of our diagnostic tests is defined as the combination of sensitivity and specificity variables. Sensitivity is the test’s ability to confirm positive results; specificity eliminates negative results. All our tests are validated with high accuracy (up to 98.5%).
Variables
Accuracy can be affected by various factors that our lab cannot control. Infection intensity, patient health, and sample quality, dependent on adherence to “home testing” procedures, can all limit the test results. Although our tests are extremely sensitive, a poor-quality swab makes it harder to detect the presence of infection, as fewer viral particles will be present. Please carefully consider the information sheet accompanying your sample collection kit to ensure a high-quality sample.
Detection
The Ureaplasma PCR detection test can accurately detect the presence of the Ureaplasma urealyticum bacteria. The test uses a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplifying method to detect the pathogen.
Positive result
A positive result suggests the presence of viral particles in the sample during testing; upon receiving positive results, you should contact your healthcare provider for treatment. You can also gain a prescription through our website. It is possible the Ureaplasma urealyticum bacteria do not present symptoms of the disease, but you may still be infectious to others.
Negative result
While this can provide reassurance, it is important to understand its significance. This means the test did not detect the presence of infection at the time of testing. Results should still be discussed with a healthcare provider while considering lifestyle and sexual history. If you are in contact with someone who tests positive for the disease or begins to present symptoms consistent with the disease, you should contact your GP.

Forum for females: The story of my mother
GREETINGS AND FOREWORD FOR UREAPLASMA
Hello to the entire Ureaplasma Test website and forum. It is genuinely captivating and replete with information, advice, and fuel for thought regarding STD testing. Above all, Rosanna, the founder, deserves all the honor and credit for her fortitude, tenacity, and solidarity with those who are suffering, which made this endeavor possible. However, we are aware that only individuals who have experienced suffering themselves can truly comprehend the pain of others.
Therefore, I would like to provide a detailed account of my mother’s life in this context. She has been experiencing episodes of cystitis since 2013, and she is currently 91 years old. It was initially sporadic and isolated, but it subsequently became significantly more frequent. There is an excessive amount of superficiality among physicians (urologists and urogynecologists), an excessive number of STD antibiotics, and significant distress among Ureaplasma patients. This was accompanied by a substantial decline in quality of life. Nevertheless, the conflict against cystitis has not yet been resolved. I must admit that I have obtained the initial results as a result of my accidental discovery of the CISTITE.INFO APS ONLUS website during a web search.
I had lost faith in my ability to resolve the cystitis or, at the very least, to prevent it from reoccurring. Rosanna’s narrative, her initiatives, her perseverance, and your narratives have reignited it within me. I will proceed directly to my mother’s narrative.
II. THE STORY OF MY MOTHER
In 2016, my mother developed cystitis. More specifically:From 2013 to 2016, there were two acute episodes of bacterial cystitis: one caused by Escherichia coli and the other by faecal Enterococcus. In 2017, there were two acute episodes of faecal Enterococcus.
From April to July 2018, there were four acute episodes of cystitis. Three of them were caused by Escherichia coli, while the fourth was caused by faecal Enterococcus.
The therapeutic protocol was prescribed by two distinct urologists in the sole episode of acute cystitis in 2017 and the first, second, and third episodes of 2018. Her examination was conducted in the same manner as usual. These symptoms included burning, increased urination frequency, smelly urine, and localized irritation in the intimate areas. Her STD doctor recommended a urinalysis and urine culture with the relative antibiogram, followed by a specific Ureaplasma medication. This is contingent upon the specific case (levofloxacin, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, etc.), and it is accompanied by an invitation to consume an abundance of water (1.5 to 2.0 liters per day).
In certain instances, she has recommended the consumption of supplements such as KYSTELLA (which is based on D-Mannose), KISTINOX ACT, and lactic ferments with D-Mannose (UTIBIS), as well as another supplement that accelerates intestinal transit (NOSTIP), for the prevention of STDs. However, the Ueraplasma issue consistently resurfaced after a brief period.
The six-month treatment regimen
After the July 4th, 2018 episode caused by faecal Enterococcus, a third specialist prescribed a more complex 6-month treatment: 15 days per month of lactic ferments and probiotics (NATURAFLORA PLUS, PROLACTIS IVU), rejected estrogens (GELISTROL) after 3 applications due to invasiveness. IALURIL SOFTGELS capsules are administered every other month for a period of 15 days, and UROGYN tablets are taken three times daily. Additionally, one NEOFURADANTIN 100 mg tablet is taken every evening during the STD treatment, with the exception of the initial seven days, during which two tablets are taken per day. In an effort to negate the acute episode caused by faecal Enterococcus.
All symptoms appeared to have undergone a regression following four months of treatment, which spanned from the conclusion of July to November. Something else was indicated by the increased frequency of excretion and the unpleasant odor of the urine. During the November 2018 check-up visit, faecal Enterococcus resurfaced for the fifth time in 2018. This time, the doctor eradicated it with BACTRIM (a Ureaplasma treatment, says some), prescribing the patient to take 2 tablets per day for 10 days. The remainder of the treatment was omitted as a result of the discovery of resistance to nitrofurantoin.
Klebsiella pneumonia (50,000 CFU/ml) was detected in the uroculture approximately twenty days later, marking the sixth episode of acute cystitis in 2018. In December 2018, I made the decision to switch specialists due to the urogynecologist’s extremely limited willingness to engage in discussion, despite the fact that certain issues and doubts arose during the treatment. I turned to an STD professor, gynaecologist and urogynecologist).
December 27, 2018
On December 27th 2018, after the visit, which also identified a vaginal infection, the professor prescribed a therapy plan. CHEMICETIN: 500 mg, administered orally three consecutive evenings. Then SOAVEMIN – ovules 1 per week for 10 weeks + SOAVEMIN underwear for intimate hygiene. However, as a prophylactic protocol for UTIs, UNIDROX 600 (Prulifloxacin) – antibiotic – 1 tablet per week for 4 months before bed. Nothing else: neither D-Mannose nor lactic ferments, nor laxatives against constipation or anything else.
This therapeutic protocol was followed carefully and briefly interrupted on January 30th 2019. This was due to an acute episode of Escherichia coli (the first acute episode of 2019) with a bacterial load of 1000000 CFU/ml. It was treated with AUGMENTIN (an antibiotic)—1 tablet every 12 hours for six days. Subsequently, my mother resumed the prescribed prevention protocol until the end of April 19th 2019.
The mother, who has always suffered from constipation, counteracted it by self-prescribing regular administration of small doses of SYCON (laxative syrup) until reaching evacuation every day or at most every two days, depending on the dosage. Without Sycon, it was easy to reach even three days of constipation. Also noteworthy as an effect of the treatment is better control of the urge to urinate while awake, with minimal loss of urine during the night detectable in the cloth upon awakening.
May 15th, 2019
On May 15th 2019, however, the urine culture underlined the presence of Escherichia coli with a bacterial load of 1000000 CFU/ml (2nd acute episode of 2019). Apart from the smelly urine, there were no other symptoms of cystitis. At this point, the professor stated that for my mother <<the recurrence of urinary infections is genetic due to the presence of a glue adhered to the cells of the urinary tract, which attracts every bacterium. Therefore, the prophylactic strategy is to change the prevention protocol.
Once the urine culture is negative, you can take one sachet of Monuril a week before going to bed>>. Consequently, the urine culture was negative with AUGMENTIN (antibiotic) – 1 tablet every 12 hours for 6 days, followed, from June 1st 2019, by the intake of n. 1 sachet of MONURIL (antibiotic) per week.
Unfortunately, on 07.23.2019, the patient experienced the third episode of acute cystitis due to Klebsiella pneumonia. The medical team administered ALLGRAM 500 mg (an antibiotic) at 1 tablet per day for 10 days to counteract it, as they had also discovered resistance to fosfomycin.
After completing the Ureaplasma antibiotic treatment and conducting urine tests and urine cultures on August 28th 2019, the medical team detected the presence of faecal Enterococcus in the Enterococcus strain from the faecal sample. Based on the antibiogram, the attending physician prescribed ALLGRAM 500 mg once again. (antibiotic), One tablet per day for 10 days + Cranberry.
Hope
While confused about what to do, I came across the CISTITE.INFO APS ONLUS website. After having “devoured” the important information on cystitis, I decided not to follow the instructions. The doctors decided not to administer yet another fringe Ureaplasma antibiotic. They decided to follow the supplement-based therapy protocol suggested by Rosanna, where D-Mannose is the undisputed protagonist. Other supplements (Immonodefend, Ialuril Softgel, turmeric, etc.) assisted this. In particular, I found the indication of the D-Mannose administration frequency striking. They provide exhaustive explanations regarding this supplement and its effects.
NONE of the doctors interviewed about STI infections so far had been so clear, despite Hippocrates having said to the “medical class” <<Make your patient a doctor>>, in the sense of creating awareness of the treatment and the disease, together with responsibility, to make him a doctor of himself.
After one month and ten days, during which my mother felt well, and the urine smell disappeared, I repeated the Ureaplasma urine test on August 10th, 2019. It revealed Klebsiella pneumoniae with a charge of 1000000 CFU/ml.
Final message
Now, not certain what to do, I’m relieved for my mother’s comfort despite the persistent respiratory other STI bacteria. I aim to persevere beyond this point.
That’s the story of my mothear’s cystitis. Though pleased with the outcome, I was not satisfied. My trust in STD-trained Doctors, including professors, waned due to their superficiality and lack of availability. I sensed a tendency to neglect elderly patients, hoping I was mistaken.
If you’ve read this far, thank you for your attention, even on behalf of my elderly mother.
