Co-infections and cryptic pathogens uncovered by metatranscriptomics in New Zealand’s severe acute respiratory infections

2026-03-24

Abstract excerpt

Severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) are a leading cause of hospitalisation and mortality globally. Many SARI cases remain undiagnosed because kit-based PCR diagnostic panels are typically limited to one or a small number of known pathogens and may fail to identify low-abundance infections or novel, poorly characterised organisms. Here, we used metatranscriptomic sequencing to profile the total infectome of...
