Application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) combined with rapid on-site cytological evaluation (ROSCE) for the diagnosis of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia.

We evaluated the application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) combined with rapid on-site cytological evaluation (ROSCE) in the diagnosis of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia, to provide a basis for an accurate diagnosis. Clinical data from three patients with C. psittaci pneumonia diagnosed by the combination of mNGS and ROSCE from June 2019 to June 2020 in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Tianjin Medical...
