Utility of Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing in Identifying Anaerobic Pathogens in a Pediatric Brain Abscess Secondary to Sinusitis: A Case Report

Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: In this pediatric brain abscess case, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) identified an anaerobic bacterium that remained undetected using conventional culture methods, thus providing clinically relevant information for antimicrobial management. This indicates that mNGS may be a useful adjunct for optimizing treatment strategies.
