A Fatal Case of Herpes Simplex Encephalitis with Two False-Negative Polymerase Chain Reactions [PDF]
An 88-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of altered mental status and seizures. His electrographic and imaging findings were suggestive of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), for which he was empirically treated with acyclovir. He underwent two lumbar punctures 3 days apart; both cerebrospinal fluid analyses tested negative for herpes simplex

False negative diagnostic errors with polymerase chain reaction for the detection of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis [PDF]
Abstract The accuracy of the BioFire FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis (ME) panel for the identification of Cryptococcus has recently been called into question. The primary objective of this study was to assess the agreement between the BioFire ME polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and other markers of cryptococcal infection.
