Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) improves the detection of central nervous system pathogens, including those not traditionally identified by standard nucleic acid detection.
Does metagenomic sequencing improve the detection of CNS pathogens in patients with meningitis and encephalitis?
Metagenomic sequencing (mNGS) shows potential as an enhanced diagnostic tool for detecting CNS viral infections.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
= 24) CNS viral infection from a single center in New England and evaluated enhanced methods to improve the detection of CNS pathogens, including those not traditionally identified in the CNS by nucleic acid detection. Overall, our work helps elucidate how mNGS can become integrated into the diagnostic toolkit for CNS infections.
