Investigation of acute encephalitis syndrome with implementation of metagenomic next generation sequencing in Nepal

2023-03-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The causative agents of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome remain unknown in 68-75% of the cases. In Nepal, the cases are tested only for Japanese encephalitis, which constitutes only about 15% of the cases. However, there could be several organisms, including vaccine-preventable etiologies that cause acute encephalitis, when identified could direct public health efforts for prevention, including addr...
