| description | This assay detects the presence of nucleic acid sequences from the Cryptococcus neoformans+gattii DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using PCR and non-probe based detection methods, such as melt curve analysis. The assay does not distinguish between the two species. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, BioFire's FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel, which is intended for the detection and identification of nucleic acids from multiple bacteria, viruses, and yeast directly from CSF obtained via lumbar puncture from individuals with signs and/or symptoms of meningitis and/or encephalitis. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Cryptococcus gattii+neoformans DNA | ||
| property | PrThr = Present or threshold: The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold. | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | CSF = Cerebral spinal fluid | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | Non-probe.amp.tar | ||
