Rapid Brain Infection Detection: Your Peace of Mind Starts Here
When severe headaches, confusion, or neurological symptoms strike, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve answers, and you need them fast. Our Meningoencephalitis (ME) Panel CSF Test is designed specifically for South Africans facing these frightening symptoms, providing comprehensive detection of 14 dangerous infections that could be affecting your brain and spinal cord.
Understanding Your ME Panel CSF Test
This advanced diagnostic test examines your cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) – the protective liquid surrounding your brain and spinal cord – using cutting-edge Film Array Multiplex PCR technology. Think of it as a comprehensive security check for your central nervous system, simultaneously screening for multiple potential threats that could be causing your symptoms.
The test specifically detects:
- Bacterial threats: E.coli K1, Haemophilus influenza, Listeria, Meningococcus, Streptococcus
- Viral invaders: Herpes simplex types 1 & 2, CMV, Enterovirus, VZV, HHV-6
- Fungal infections: Cryptococcus species
Who Should Consider This Critical Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these concerning symptoms, this test could provide life-saving clarity:
- Severe, persistent headaches that don’t respond to normal pain relief
- Confusion, disorientation, or memory problems that seem unusual
- Fever with neck stiffness or sensitivity to light
- Neurological symptoms like seizures, weakness, or coordination issues
- Recent exposure to someone with meningitis or similar infections
- Weakened immune system due to medical conditions or treatments
Particularly important for South Africans living in crowded urban areas like Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban where infectious diseases can spread more easily.
