Viral meningoencephalitis: a focus on diagnostics
The integration of mNGS into routine diagnostic workflows could significantly improve the diagnostic yield for viral meningoencephalitis, especially in cases with negative or inconclusive results from traditional methods. However, further studies are necessary to refine its clinical application, optimize cost-effectiveness, and establish guidelines for its use in the diagnostic management of meningoencephalitis.
