Detection of respiratory viruses directly from clinical samples using next‐generation sequencing: A literature review of recent advances and potential for routine clinical use

Abstract excerpt

Acute respiratory infection is the third most frequent cause of mortality worldwide, causing over 4.25 million deaths annually. Although most diagnosed acute respiratory infections are thought to be of viral origin, the aetiology often remains unclear. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionised the field of virus discovery and identification, particularly in the detection of unknown...
