Metagenomic next-generation sequencing assists in the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in non-endemic areas of China by Rui Zhao, Guilun He, Lin Xiang, Melinda Ji, Rongheng He, Xudong Wei

“…In this study, we report two cases of leishmaniasis from Henan Province, China, in which Leishmania parasites were identified using mNGS technology, massively expediting diagnosis and treatment.ResultsOur report demonstrates that the mNGS method is applicable to peripheral blood samples (PB), which are far more readily available in clinical settings, in addition to bone marrow aspirate samples (BM), which are traditionally used for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis.ConclusionOur report validates the efficacy of mNGS technology as a rapid and accurate method of diagnosis for leishmaniasis.…”
