Background: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) allows untargeted identification of a broad range of pathogens, including rare or novel microorganisms. Despite the recognition of mNGS as a valuable diagnostic tool for infections, the most relevant indications for this innovative strategy remain poorly defined. We aimed to assess the determinants of positivity and clinical utility of mNGS.

Article Synopsis
- * Next generation sequencing (NGS) successfully identified European bat lyssavirus type 1a in the patient's brain tissue, confirming the cause of death, despite the diagnosis not suggesting rabies.
- * The findings highlight the importance of NGS in detecting rare viruses and suggest that individuals in close contact with bats should consider rabies vaccinations, which are effective against EBLV-1.
