Application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in the diagnosis of Bartonella neuroretinitis: A case report and literature review
2023-07-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is caused by Bartonella henselae infection. In atypical cases of CSD, pathogen determination is challenging. We report a case of Bartonella neuroretinitis with neither a clear history of scratches nor typical general symptoms. The diagnosis was made using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), a high-throughput sequencing technology. Case presentation: A fem...
