Diagnostic Utility of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing for Pulmonary Mucormycosis: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing can serve as an important complement to traditional diagnostic methods, enabling rapid and accurate differentiation of <i>Mucorales</i> from other fungi. This allows patients to receive timely and targeted antifungal therapy, playing a critical role in early intervention and improving prognosis.
