Document type Comparative Study

Invasive meningococcal disease continues to be a life-threatening condition and rapid diagnosis is important for the administration of appropriate treatment. This study focused on the use of PCR for the diagnosis of meningococcal aetiology and the dynamics of PCR-based diagnosis over time in various biological samples. Sixty cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and 144 serum samples collected during the first week of hospitalisation from 37 patients with laboratory-confirmed invasive meningococcal disease were investigated. Overall, 91.9% of CSF samples and 45.9% of serum samples were PCR-positive, while culture of CSF and blood was positive for only 35% and 39% samples, respectively. Positive PCR results were obtained until day 7 with CSF and until day 5 with serum. It is therefore recommended that samples for molecular diagnosis should be collected early in the course of suspected invasive meningococcal disease.
