17 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Purposes To explore the value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in diagnosing pneumocystis jiroveciipneumonia (PJP) in the immunocompromised patients. Methods Data of 122 patients with PJP in an immunosuppressed state and 67 non-PJP patients were collected.
