Comparison of plasma and blood cell samples in metagenomic next-generation sequencing for identification of the causative pathogens of fever
21 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
Background: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of plasma DNA has become an attractive diagnostic method for infectious diseases; however, the rate of false-positive results is high. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of mNGS in plasma versus blood cell samples for immunocompromised children with febrile diseases. Methods: The results of conventional microbiological test (CMT) and mNGS...
