Exploring the appropriate situation of performing CSF mNGS in patients with proposed intracranial infections
The likelihood of detecting the responsible pathogen through CSF mNGS in patients with suspected intracranial infections can be evaluated using the scoring system. Furthermore, it is crucial to consider the possibility of another condition, such as epilepsy, when the responsible pathogen is not detected using cerebrospinal fluid mNGS.
