Metagenomic next-generation sequencing to characterize etiologies of non-malarial fever in a cohort living in a high malaria burden area of Uganda

2022-09-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Causes of non-malarial fevers in sub-Saharan Africa remain understudied. We hypothesized that metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), which allows for broad genomic-level detection of infectious agents in a biological sample, can systematically identify potential causes of non-malarial fevers. <h4>Methods and Findings</h4> The 212 participants in this study were of all ages and were enro...
