Distinguishing bacterial from viral meningitis based on clinical presentation alone is challenging because patients tend to present with similar, flu-like symptoms. Patients are typically treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics until a pathogen is identified. The BIOFIRE ME Panel is fast, easy, and comprehensive, drastically reducing the time to diagnostic results.
- Tests for 14 of the most common bacteria, viruses, and fungi associated with central nervous system infections
- While traditional meningitis tests take up to 48 hours, the BIOFIRE ME Panel delivers results in about one hour
- Pathogen-specific results may lead to targeted therapy, potentially decreasing the use of antibiotics and hospital length of stay.
