2024-07-19
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is urgently needed. We aimed to improve diagnosis rates by combining tuberculosis-interferon (IFN)-γ release assays (TB-IGRA) with metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for PTB diagnosis. Methods <bold>A</bold> retrospective study of 29 PTB and 32 non-TB patients from our hospital was conducted between October 2022 and...
