236. The Comparative Utility Of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing and Universal PCR for Pathogen Detection on Cerebrospinal Fluid: A Retrospective Analysis From a Tertiary Care Center

BACKGROUND: Many neurologic syndromes are underpinned by infectious etiologies that are difficult to diagnose. Broad-range, universal PCR (uPCR), and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) are emerging molecular techniques that may allow for enhanced pathogen detection in challenging cases. T...
