CASE STUDY : Rebecca presents with complaints of urgency , frequency , and yellow discharge for the last week . She was previously prescribed Diflucan for vaginal yeast infection by her gynecologist after multiple trips and different medications .
Without the results from QLabs that lead to precise treatment , Rebecca ’ s infection would have worsened and her medical bills would have continued to accumulate .
A urinalysis was positive for leukocytes .
Rebecca was diagnosed with acute cystitis and prescribed Bactrim and Diflucan . The provider also sent a urine sample to QLabs for PCR testing which detected Ureaplasma with resistance to macrolides and tetracyclines . The provider utilized the QLabs ’ antibiotic guidance , discontinued Diflucan and prescribed Ciprofloxacin . Rebecca ’ s symptoms resolved .
After repeated trips to her gynecologist and PCP , multiple insurance claims , and different antibiotics , PCR testing provided the needed information for accurate treatment .
