About this trial
Multiple pathogens can cause eye infection. In recent years, emerging and resurging viral infections represent an important public health problem. Many emerging viruses cause infectious diseases involving ophthalmic manifestations, including Mpox virus, Zika, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2. Broad and unbiased pathogen surveillance is essential, so we design this unbiased metagenomic sequencing based study to investigate the total infectome of eye infections. The study is historical and prospective in design.
