Progress Report: Next-Generation Sequencing, Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction, and Broad-Range Molecular Assays as Diagnostic Tools for Fever of Unknown Origin Investigations in Adults

Abstract excerpt

Even well into the 21st century, infectious diseases still account for most causes of fever of unknown origin (FUO). Advances in molecular technologies, including broad-range polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene followed by Sanger sequencing, multiplex PCR assays, and more recently, next-generation sequencing applications, have transitioned from research methods to more commonplace in...
