Metagenomic shotgun sequencing of blood to identify bacteria and viruses in leukemic febrile neutropenia

Despite diagnostic advances in microbiology, the etiology of neutropenic fever remains elusive in most cases. In this study, we evaluated the utility of a metagenomic shotgun sequencing based assay for detection of bacteria and viruses in blood samples of patients with febrile neutropenia. We prospe...
