The potential of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in the diagnosis of fracture-related infection: a retrospective study
2024-11-28
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Diagnosis of infective pathogen could be challenging in fracture-related infection (FRI). Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a new approach to identify the organism in bone infection disease. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of mNGS in determining the causative organisms of FRI. Methods From January 2021 to June 2023, a total of 105 cases with suspected FRI i...
