“…Compared to qRT-PCR and mNGS, droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) is a one-step amplification technique that has been proven to provide increased sensitivity in detecting nucleic acids [ 5 , 6 ]. Recently, ddPCR has shown promising potential in the fight against infections, but its application in FUO has not yet been adequately explored [ 7 ].…”
