Multicenter evaluation of the multiplex polymerase chain reaction QIAstat-Dx Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel for the detection of central nervous system pathogens directly in the cerebrospinal fluid
ABSTRACT Rapid and accurate detection of pathogens causing meningitis/encephalitis (MEN/EN) is critical to improving clinical outcomes. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enables simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), offering advantages over traditional methods. This mu...
