Detection of intraocular infections relies heavily on molecular diagnostics. A fundamental challenge is that only 100–300 μl of intraocular fluid can be safely obtained at any given time for diagnostic testing. The most widely available molecular diagnostic panel for infections in ophthalmology includes 4 separate pathogen-directed polymerase chain reactions (PCRs): cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), and Toxoplasma gondii. Not surprisingly, more than 50% of all presumed intraocular infections fail to have a pathogen identified. 1Metagenomic deep sequencing has the potential to improve diagnostic yield as it is unbiased and hypothesis-free; it can theoretically detect all pathogens in a clinical sample. 2, 3 Previously, we demonstrated that unbiased RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of intraocular fluid detects fungi, parasites, DNA and RNA viruses in uveitis patients. 2 One obvious drawback regarding RNA-seq is that optimal RNA sequencing requires proper specimen handling, including either flash-freezing or immediate placement of the specimen on dry ice. Although commercial room-temperature RNA-preservatives may address this issue, practicing ophthalmologists may find these collection techniques impractical in an outpatient setting. For pathogens with DNA genomes, metagenomic DNA sequencing (DNA-seq) can circumvent this challenge, as DNA is more tolerant of ambient temperature. This study compares the performance of DNA-seq with conventional pathogen-directed PCRs to diagnose intraocular infections.
