Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) caused by is a rare subacute infection with exceptionally high mortality. Diagnosis is typically made by brain biopsy or at autopsy. Detection of cell-free DNA by next-generation sequencing of plasma enabled rapid, noninvasive diagnosis in a case of amoebic encephalitis.
由 引起的肉芽肿性阿米巴脑炎(GAE)是一种罕见的亚急性感染,死亡率极高。诊断通常通过脑活检或尸检进行。在一例阿米巴脑炎病例中,通过血浆的下一代测序检测无细胞DNA实现了快速、非侵入性诊断。
