Metagenomic next-generation sequencing as a diagnostic tool for toxoplasmic encephalitis

1 Dec 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: More than 100 different pathogens can cause encephalitis. Testing of all the neurological pathogens by conventional methods can be difficult. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (NGS) could identify the infectious agents in a target-independent manner. The role of this novel method in clinical diagnostic microbiology still needs to be evaluated. In present study, we used metagenomic NGS to search...
