Precision Treatment of Cryptogenic Brain Abscesses: Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing and Imaging for Recurrence Control
Combined multimodal imaging and mNGS serve as the core modalities for early diagnosis of cryptogenic brain abscesses. Surgical resection significantly improves cure rates and reduces recurrence risk, particularly suitable for patients with abscesses larger than 2.5 cm in diameter or mixed infections.
