HiberGene -Rapid Molecular Test Kit for Pneumo/Meningo Combo
Pneumo/Meningo Combo – improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary antibiotics and isolation costs with a simple and accurate molecular test. Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae cause up to 87% of bacterial meningitis cases in young children and adults¹. Bacterial meningitis is an aggressive disease with non-specific symptoms making it inherently difficult to diagnose. The disease is responsible for over 1.2 million cases and 170,000 deaths annually worldwide². Survivors may suffer severe, lifelong disabilities³.

- Targeted test to diagnose the two leading causes of bacterial meningitis – large panel tests are costly and give unwanted results
- Results in = 60 minutes – enables timely isolation precautions and treatment – conventional culture methods can take to up 72 hours and are not viable for such an aggressive infection
- Differential diagnosis to inform clinical decisions
