Metagenomic next-generation sequencing assists the diagnosis treatment of fungal osteoarticular infections

Abstract excerpt

Background: Fungal osteoarticular infection (FOI) is not commonly seen in clinical practice but proposes a great challenge to orthopedic surgeons. In this study, we aimed to investigate the risk factors, the clinical features, and surgical outcomes of FOI in our institution. Specifically, we aimed to explore the role of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the diagnosis and treatment of FOI. Methods:...
