Article Synopsis
- Intracranial infections (ICI) are common and serious post-neurosurgery complications, and macrogenome next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can aid in their diagnosis and treatment.
- A study involving 60 ICI patients compared mNGS with traditional pathogen detection methods, showing mNGS had a significantly higher positivity rate (71.67% vs 28.33%) and greater sensitivity (83.7% vs 34.88%).
- The results indicated that mNGS is more effective in identifying pathogens associated with ICIs, suggesting that it could enhance diagnosis and treatment strategies for patients, especially those with HIV.
