Molecular testing of respiratory swabs aids early recognition of meningococcal disease in children.

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease - 1 Aug 2011

Dunlop Kathryn Anne, Coyle Peter, Mitchell Suzanne, Fairley Derek, O'Neill Hugh, Jackson Paul, Shields Michael David

Abstract excerpt

Early meningococcal disease (MD) diagnosis is difficult. We assessed rapid molecular testing of respiratory specimens. We performed genotyping of respiratory swabs, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid from children with suspected disease and nasal swabs (NSs) from matched controls. Thirty-nine of 104...
