Utility of FilmArrayⓇ ME panel for prompt Neisseria meningitidis detection in non-cerebrospinal fluid samples- A case report

Copyright © 2019 The British Infection Association. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

The FilmArrayⓇ Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel detects the 14 most frequent pathogens causing meningitis and/or encephalitis. The use of FilmArray ME with non-validated samples is seldom published in the literature. We describe the case of a 3-year-old child, diagnosed with acute meningoencephalitis, in whom the FilmArrayⓇ ME technique successfully identified Neisseria meningitidis in both skin biopsy and whole blood samples.
