Abstract

This data can serve as a reference for other next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In the related research article, entitled “Next-Generation Sequencing of Cerebrospinal Fluid for the Diagnosis of Neurocysticercosis”, we reported NGS of the CSF might be an auxiliary method for neurocysticercosis (NCC) patients who have complicated manifestations and courses to receive early diagnosis and treatment. In this article, we retrieved the available data about the sequencing statistics of the CSF samples and the number of unique reads and genomic coverage aligning to microorganic sequences. The data were generated by the Illumina MiniSeq system for sequencing and computational subtraction of the human host sequences was performed. Finally, the remaining sequencing data were aligned to the Microbial Genome Databases. This data can serve as a reference for other NGS of the CSF.
