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.
FilmArray® 脑膜炎/脑炎检测 panel 可检测导致脑膜炎和/或脑炎的 14 种最常见病原体。当基于培养的方法因早期抗生素治疗而受到限制时，使用 FilmArray® ME 是一种替代方法。我们描述了一位接受 ravulizumab（一种补体成分 C5 抑制剂）治疗的 43 岁女性的病例，该患者的脑脊液中使用 FilmArray® ME 技术成功鉴定出脑膜炎奈瑟菌。
