Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing of Cerebrospinal Fluid for the Diagnosis of Central Nervous System Infections: A Multicentre Prospective Study
2019-06-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Infectious encephalitis and meningitis are often treated empirically without identification of the causative pathogen. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a high throughput technology that enables the detection of pathogens independent of prior clinical or laboratory information. <h4>Methods</h4> The present study was a multicentre prospective evaluation of mNG...
