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