“…For this reason we recommend interrogating the metagenomics results in tissue for viruses with <5 reads, which should be confirmed with a targeted PCR prior to clinical reporting. It is worthwhile noting that whilst the sensitivity of metagenomics in tissue for DNA organisms is suboptimal, it is equivalent to the sensitivity of broad-range bacterial PCR widely used in clinical practice [ 8 ] and has been used successfully by our laboratory to diagnose multiple case of encephalitis [ [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] ] and hepatitis [ [2] , [15] ].…”
