Diagnostic value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing combined by medical thoracoscopy surgery among infectious pleural effusion patients
Our study showed that using mNGS in combination with biopsy samples obtained through medical thoracoscopy resulted in higher positive rates compared to traditional tests and provided more evidence of pathogens for patients with infectious pleural effusion.
