Identifying Corneal Infections in Formalin-Fixed Specimens Using Next Generation Sequencing

16 Jan 2018

Abstract excerpt

Purpose: We test the ability of next-generation sequencing, combined with computational analysis, to identify a range of organisms causing infectious keratitis. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 16 cases of infectious keratitis and four control corneas in formalin-fixed tissues from the pathology laboratory. Infectious cases also were analyzed in the microbiology laboratory using culture, polymerase...
