Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing Is Highly Efficient in Diagnosing Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia in the Immunocompromised Patients

PurposesTo explore the value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in diagnosing pneumocystis jiroveciipneumonia (PJP) in the immunocompromised patients.MethodsData of 122 patients with PJP in an immunosuppressed state and 67 non-PJP patients were collected. The diagnostic efficacy of mNG...
