Metagenomic next-generation sequencing aids the diagnosis of viral infections in febrile returning travellers
6 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Travel-associated infections are challenging to diagnose because of the broad spectrum of potential aetiologies. As a proof-of-principle study, we used MNGS to identify viral pathogens in clinical samples from returning travellers in a single center to explore its suitability as a diagnostic tool. METHODS: Plasma samples from 40 returning travellers presenting with a fever of ≥38°C were sequenced...
