Cryptococcus gattii+neoformans DNA [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by NAA with non-probe detection

C gattii+neofor DNA CSF Ql NAA+n-prb

Definition

This assay detects the presence of nucleic acid sequences from the Cryptococcus neoformans+gattii DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using PCR and non-probe based detection methods, such as melt curve analysis. The assay does not distinguish between the two species. 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.
