Background: There are hundreds of pathogens that cause lung infections. Compared to infections caused by a single pathogen, mixed infections account for a larger proportion of pulmonary infections and have a more severe clinical presentation, while treatment options differ between the two. We aimed to explore the advantages of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the diagnosis and treatment of mixed infections.

Purpose: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a life-threatening opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. The diagnosis is often made late, with mortality reaching 90% when mechanical ventilation is needed. We sought to develop and validate a risk prediction model for the diagnosis of IPA.

Background: A liver abscess caused by hypervirulent can lead to multiple invasive extrahepatic infections, including lung abscesses, endophthalmitis, brain abscesses, and necrotizing fasciitis. This condition, known as liver abscess invasion syndrome, progresses rapidly and is associated with severe illness, high disability rates, and significant mortality. However, bloodstream infections with co-infection involving carbapenem-resistant are exceedingly rare.

Background: Patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5-positive dermatomyositis (MDA5 DM) are prone to infections, but there is a lack of rapid methods to assess infection risk, which greatly affects patient prognosis. This study aims to analyze the clinical features of MDA5 DM patients systematically and develop a predictive model for infections.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data from 118 hospitalized patients with MDA5 DM.

Background: After the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, no studies on bacterial and atypical pathogens were conducted in primary care. We aimed to describe the etiological composition of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) presenting to primary care with limited resources after the pandemic.
Methods: 1958 adult patients with ARTIs from 17 primary care clinics were recruited prospectively from January 2024 to March 2024.
