Value of next-generation sequencing in early diagnosis of patients with tuberculous meningitis
2021, Journal of the Neurological SciencesCitation Excerpt :As our samples were limited, further clinical studies on large samples were needed to verify our results. A study by Wang, S, et al. [47] found that the specificity of NGS for diagnosis of TBM reached 100%, which provided a new alternative diagnostic method for TBM and recommended NGS as a first-line detection method for TBM.The results from this study were comparable to our investigation but lacked the use of an Xpert MTB/RIF assay. Our study also found that the high specificity of NGS could be combined with traditional detection methods to achieve higher diagnostic rates, which was not found in the above study.
