Clinical features of aseptic meningitis with varicella zoster virus infection diagnosed by next-generation sequencing: case reports

Table 3 Number, percentage, genome coverage, and read depth of unique reads for the sequences of varicella zoster virus in the CSF samples

Case No.	Pathogen	Unique reads	Percentage, %	Genome Coverage, %	Read Depth (X)
1	varicella zoster virus	17,137	100	99.73	17.90
2	varicella zoster virus	13,190	100	98.83	11.87
3	varicella zoster virus	1330	100	34.77	1.25
4	varicella zoster virus	102	96.23	4.32	1.03

Note: In case 1, 2, and 3, only VZV has been detected by NGS. So, the percentage is 100% for each of them. In case 4, there were 102 reads of VZV and 4 reads of Human parvovirus B19 detected by NGS (Additional file 5). So, the percentage is 96.23% (102/106) for case 4
