N. Meningitis RNA Detection Qualitative Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the N. Meningitis RNA Detection Qualitative Test for AED 1160.0. This test is used to detect the presence of Neisseria meningitidis, a bacterium that can cause meningitis.
Test Details
The N. Meningitis RNA Detection Qualitative Test specifically detects the RNA (ribonucleic acid) of the bacterium. It is a viral test performed using Real Time PCR method in our Genetics department. The test is usually performed on samples such as blood, nasopharyngeal secretions, nasopharyngeal swabs, C.S.F, bronchial swabs, bronchial lavage, etc.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, patients are required to sign a consent document and bring any clinical history related to N. Meningitis. This helps in ensuring accurate results and appropriate treatment.
Test Process
The N. Meningitis RNA Detection Qualitative Test is performed on a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is collected through a lumbar puncture procedure. CSF is the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord and is often affected in cases of meningitis.
The test uses a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and detect specific RNA sequences from N. meningitidis. PCR is a sensitive and specific method that can detect even small amounts of the bacterium’s RNA in the CSF sample.
The CSF sample is processed, and the RNA is extracted. Then, specific primers and probes are used to target and amplify the N. meningitidis RNA if present. This amplification allows for easier detection of the bacterium.
Result Delivery
Once the test is performed, the report will be delivered via email within 3 working days. In case of urgency, the report can be delivered on the phone within 24 hours.
Interpreting the Results
If the test result is positive, it indicates the presence of N. meningitidis RNA in the CSF sample, suggesting an active infection with the bacterium. A positive result would typically prompt further evaluation and treatment for meningitis.
It’s important to note that the N. Meningitis RNA Detection Qualitative Test is a qualitative test, meaning it only provides a yes/no answer regarding the presence of N. meningitidis RNA. It does not provide information about the quantity of the bacterium or its antibiotic sensitivity. Additional tests may be required to determine these factors and guide appropriate treatment.
