Abstract:BackgroundMetagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a novel non-invasive and comprehensive technique for etiological diagnosis of infectious diseases. However, its practical significance has been seldom reported in the context of hematological patients with high-risk febrile neutropenia, a unique patient group characterized by neutropenia and compromised immune responses.MethodsThis retrospective study evaluated the results of plasma cfDNA sequencing in 164 hematological patients with high-risk febrile … Show more
