<p>We conducted a prospective, observational cohort study of adults (RESERVE-U-2-TOR) admitted to Tororo General Hospital in eastern Uganda with severe, undifferentiated infection (i.e., suspected sepsis). Briefly, whole-blood samples were collected in PAXgene blood RNA tubes (PreAnalytiX, Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA), from which RNA was extracted using PAXgene Blood RNA Kits (cat. no. 762164) (Qiagen). Sequencing libraries were constructed with the NEBNext Ultra II RNA Library Preparation Kit for Illumina, after which libraries were multiplexed and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq X Plus platform (Illumina, Inc, San Diego, CA). Data from this study available through dbGaP include raw RNA-Seq data generated from whole-blood samples collected upon RESERVE-U-2-TOR study enrollment (N=274). </p>
