Why is this test Bacterial Meningitis Panel - 5 antigen Serum taken?

This test, the Bacterial Meningitis Panel - 5 antigen Serum, is taken to diagnose bacterial meningitis, a potentially life-threatening infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Bacterial meningitis can be caused by several different types of bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, Listeria monocytogenes, and Group B Streptococcus.

Identifying the specific bacteria causing meningitis is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment, as different bacteria may respond to different antibiotics. This test detects antigens produced by these bacteria in the bloodstream, helping to diagnose the specific type of bacteria causing the infection.

Popular FAQs on Test

The Bacterial Meningitis Panel - 5 antigen Serum test is a diagnostic test that detects the presence of five specific antigens associated with bacterial meningitis in a patient's serum. These antigens are used to identify the causative agent of bacterial meningitis and guide appropriate treatment.
The test may be ordered when a healthcare provider suspects a patient has bacterial meningitis based on their symptoms, such as fever, headache, neck stiffness, and confusion. It may also be ordered to monitor the effectiveness of treatment in patients with bacterial meningitis.
The test is performed by collecting a blood sample from the patient, which is then analyzed in a laboratory for the presence of the five specific antigens associated with bacterial meningitis. The results are typically available within a few days.
A positive result for any of the five antigens indicates the presence of the corresponding bacterial strain causing meningitis. A negative result does not rule out bacterial meningitis, as not all bacterial strains may produce these specific antigens.
The test itself carries minimal risks, as it involves a simple blood draw. However, as with any blood test, there is a small risk of bleeding, infection, or bruising at the site of the blood draw.
