This webinar will explore the application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing of plasma microbial cell-free DNA for the detection of pathogens associated with fever of unknown origin. The Karius Test, a liquid biopsy for infectious diseases, utilizes a single blood sample to identify over 1000 pathogens for various diagnostic purposes, including fever of unknown origin, invasive fungal infections, pneumonia, endocarditis, and febrile neutropenia.

Our featured speaker, Dr. Jaime Fergie, a pediatric infectious disease specialist, will review some of the published data and share his own insights on the optimal utilization of the Karius Test in fever of unknown origin.
