Figure Lengend Snippet: Time course of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) characteristics of the child examined during the study.

Article Snippet: The CSF examination documented a clear and colorless appearance, with an increase in cell count (162 cells/μL, normal range 0–25 cells/μL), albumin (438 mg/L, normal range 0–350 mg/L), and immunoglobulins (Ig) G (44 mg/L, normal range 0–34 mg/L) , with a positivity for herpes virus (HHV-6; sensitivity 10,000 copies/mL) (FILMARRAYTM Meningitis/Encephalitis (ME) Panel, BioMerieux, Grassina(FI), Italy) , and for oligoclonal bands with intrathecal synthesis.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Detection of bacterial, viral, and parasitic diarrhoeal pathogens from 378 pediatric stool specimens evaluated by standard laboratory methods and the FilmArray GI Panel.

Article Snippet: To address this, there has been interest in developing multiplex platforms that can simultaneously detect a range of diarrhoeal pathogens. ( 7 - 12 ) The objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic yield of standard microbiologic testing ordered by the treating physician with the FilmArray Gastrointestinal Diagnostic System (FilmArray GI Panel, BioFire Diagnostics Inc., Salt Lake City, UT), a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system that simultaneously detects 23 diarrhoeal pathogens.
