Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing for Diagnosing Severe Leptospirosis in a Patient Suspected Covid-19: A Case Report

2022-12-15

Abstract excerpt

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic and neglected waterborne disease caused by the pathogenic helical spirochetes. Early diagnosis of leptospirosis remains challenging due to non-specific symptoms and the limited availability of rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests.Herein, we present a case where a patient suspected of having COVID-19 was diagnosed with leptospirosis using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Th...
