Case report: The clinical utility of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in mucormycosis diagnosis caused by fatal Lichtheimia ramosa infection in pediatric neuroblastoma

Lichtheimia ramosa (L. ramosa) is an opportunistic fungal pathogen of the order Mucorales that may result in a rare but serious mucormycosis infection. Mucormycosis could be angioinvasive, causing thrombosis and necrosis in the nose, brain, digestive tract, and respiratory tract. The infection is hi...
