Title: Bordetella pertussis detected in blood samples from neonatal twins via metagenomic next-generation sequencing


Biography

Dr Wenwei Zhang is a neonatologist at Shenzhen Children's Hospital and holds a Master's degree (M.Med.). The research presented in this paper addresses a pressing health concern, given the resurgence of pertussis and its associated complications, including bacteremia, in recent years. The research presented in this paper is of paramount importance, given that only seven other case studies of pertussis bacteremia have been reported globally, and none involving neonatal twins.
