Clinical application of targeted next-generation sequencing in pneumonia diagnosis among cancer patients

Abstract excerpt

Background Cancer patients are highly susceptible to infections due to their immunocompromised state from both the malignancy and intensive treatments. Accurate and timely identification of causative pathogens is crucial for effective management and treatment. Targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) has become an important tool in clinical infectious disease diagnosis because of its broad microbial detection...
