Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in detecting pathogens in children with severe infections at a hospital in Wenzhou from mid-2018 to late 2020.
- Out of 29 children analyzed, mNGS identified pathogens in 20 cases (69% detection rate), while conventional culture only detected 2 cases (7% detection rate), showing that mNGS is significantly more effective.
- mNGS demonstrated higher sensitivity for pathogen detection, revealing various pathogens that conventional methods missed, making it a superior diagnostic tool for severe infectious diseases in pediatric patients.
