82183-5
LaboratoryHaemophilus influenzae DNA [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by NAA with non-probe detection
Definition
This assay detects the presence of nucleic acid sequences from the Haemophilus influenzae DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using PCR and non-probe based detection methods, such as melt curve analysis. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, BioFire's FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel, which is intended for the detection and identification of nucleic acids from multiple bacteria, viruses, and yeast directly from CSF obtained via lumbar puncture from individuals with signs and/or symptoms of meningitis and/or encephalitis.
