Torque Teno Virus or Herpesviruses Detection By Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing Predicts In‐Hospital Major Adverse Events in Critically Ill Patients With Severe Infections

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Viral detection occurs frequently in critically ill patients. Patients with multiple viremic events had a higher ICU mortality. The highly sensitive mNGS technology has significantly enhanced viral pathogen detection rates. We enrolled 134 critically ill patients with severe infections who underwent mNGS testing during January 2019 to December
