Nanopore-targeted sequencing (NTS) for intracranial tuberculosis: a promising and reliable approach
9 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization predicted 10.6 million new tuberculosis cases and 1.5 million deaths in 2022. Tuberculous meningitis, affecting 1% of active TB cases, is challenging to diagnose due to sudden onset, vague symptoms, and limited laboratory tests. Nanopore-targeted sequencing (NTS) is an emerging third-generation sequencing technology known for its sequencing capabilities. We compared its...
