Diagnosis of Coxiella burnetii endocarditis by using nanopore targeted sequencing: a case report
This case study demonstrates the accurate diagnosis and treatment of C. burnetii endocarditis through NTS analysis of blood samples. As a novel technology, NTS may play an important role in the diagnosis of culture-negative infections caused by unidentified pathogens.
