Application of Metagenomics Next-Generation Sequencing on Diagnosis of Disseminated Infection Caused by Rhizomucor pusillus in an Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patient
mNGS facilitates prompt diagnosis of disseminated <i>R. pusillus</i> infections. The successful application of mNGS provided a new perspective for the clinician, underscoring the technique's potential for rapid diagnostic etiology. mNGS has the capability to identify pathogens at the species level, which is a significant asset in guiding clinical medication decisions.
