Abstract

Infectious diseases are the major cause of children's deaths all over the world. With the development of evidence-based medicine, etiological diagnosis becomes more and more important. Since traditional methods have been unable to meet the needs of diagnosis and treatment, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) gradually shows its unique advantages for pathogen diagnosis. This article aimed to introduce the application of mNGS technology in the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal and puerile infectious diseases by providing some examples.

Keywords: Infectious disease; Pediatric; mNGS.
