11 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: In recent years, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has become widely used in medical microbiology to detect pathogen infection. AIM: We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of mNGS of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for prediction of cryptococcal meningitis (CM). METHODOLOGY: A comparative evaluation of mNGS (performed on CSF samples) and conventional methods, including India ink...
