Unbiased metagenomic sequencing for pediatric meningitis in Bangladesh reveals neuroinvasive Chikungunya virus outbreak and other unrealized pathogens
2019-03-15
Abstract excerpt
The disease burden due to meningitis in low and middle-income countries remains significant and failure to determine an etiology impedes appropriate treatment for patients and evidence-based policy decisions for populations. Broad-range pathogen surveillance using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of RNA isolated from cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) provides an unbiased assessment for possible infectious e...
