The Seeplex meningitis ACE detection tests for 12 meningitis-causing pathogens: five bacteria (S pneumoniae, N meningitidis, H influenzae type b, L monocytogenes, and S agalactiae); and seven viruses (HSV1, HSV2, VZV, EBV, CMV, HHV6, and enteroviruses) from cerebrospinal fluid.
Jong-Yoon Chun, founder and CEO of Seegene, said: “Seeplex meningitis ACE detection provides accurate, rapid and cost-effective meningitis diagnostics. The test is a clear break from traditional methods of diagnosing meningitis, taking only six hours to detect either bacterial or viral meningitis infection in an easy to use testing format.
“This test will help to save lives and prevent unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions by providing precise information of meningitis causing pathogens at the earliest possible stage.”
