Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology ¦ Volume 21 ¦ Issue 2 ¦ April-June 2018 168 Sir, Viral meningitis may remain a diagnostic enigma without molecular techniques. Rapid molecular FilmArray assays are the great advancement for the diagnosis of difficult-to-grow pathogens such as viruses and thus can become a big tool in antimicrobial stewardship. We are reporting a case of unusual presentation of Varicella zoster meningitis which was diagnosed rapidly using molecular FilmArray assay which is based on syndromic approach covering various bacteria, viruses, and fungi in a single run rather than the detection of different pathogens using conventional/real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.
