Abstract

diagnosed via metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). By employing mNGS to identify the pathogen, we summarize the clinical characteristics of this case and highlight the diagnostic advantages of this technology. Our findings aim to guide clinicians in selecting appropriate diagnostic approaches for similar cases, avoiding unnecessary delays and optimizing resource utilization in clinical practice.
