Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing of Cerebrospinal Fluid for the Diagnosis of Cerebral Aspergillosis

Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing of Cerebrospinal Fluid for the Diagnosis of Cerebral Aspergillosis

Purpose: Cerebral aspergillosis (CA) is a rare but often fatal, difficult-to-diagnose, opportunistic infection. The utility of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for diagnosis of CA is unclear. We evaluated the usefulness of mNGS of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for the diagnosis of CA.Me...
