Detection of Neisseria meningitidis in a patient receiving ravulizumab by the FilmArray® Meningitis/Encephalitis panel- A case report
J Infect.
2021 Jun.
Abstract
The FilmArray® Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel detects the 14 most frequent pathogens causing meningitis and/or encephalitis. The use of FilmArray® ME is an alternative when culture-based methods are limited because an early antibiotic treatment. We describe the case of a 43-year-old woman receiving ravulizumab, a complement component C5 inhibitor, in whom the FilmArray® ME technique successfully identified Neisseria meningitidis in cerebrospinal fluid.
Keywords: Anti C5 monoclonal antibody; Antimicrobial prophylaxis; FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis.
