Metagenomic next-generation sequencing: A promising tool for diagnosis and treatment of suspected pneumonia in rheumatic patients with acute respiratory failure: Retrospective cohort study

Abstract

mNGS has an excellent accuracy in etiological diagnosis and pathogen detection of suspected pneumonia in critically rheumatic patients, which has potential significance for clinical decision-making. Its superiority to different types of pathogens depends on the comprehensiveness of CMTs.
