Current standard PCR panels for meningitis have a limited list of viruses.
“Given the limited list of viruses in the current standard PCR panels for meningitis, as well as the uneasiness of collecting further CSF samples for additional testing, there is a clear need for more inclusive diagnostic tools (33); some reports have already called for the inclusion of BK and JC to be in the routine standard testing such as ME multiplex panel (34).”
From Viruses Causing Aseptic Meningitis: A Tertiary Medical Center Experience With a Multiplex PCR Assay (2020) · cites this paper as [33]
The “Undiagnosed CNS Infections” section says that about 30% of suspected CNS infections remain without an etiological diagnosis even in the PCR era. “Centralized Diagnostic Facilities” calls for better tests for novel pathogens. Neither section describes standard meningitis PCR panels or says they include only a limited list of viruses. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
