Identification of microbial agents in tissue specimens of ocular and periocular sarcoidosis using a metagenomics approach [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Identification of microbial agents in tissue specimens of ocular and periocular sarcoidosis using a metagenomics approach [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Background: Metagenomic sequencing has the potential to identify a wide range of pathogens in human tissue samples. Sarcoidosis is a complex disorder whose etiology remains unknown and for which a variety of infectious causes have been hypothesized. We sought to conduct metagenomic sequencing on cas...
