Legionellosis caused by Legionella longbeachae is diagnosed mainly by PCR. We report a case of L. longbeachae infection in mainland China, which was diagnosed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing, in a man who developed an epileptic seizure after using moxifloxacin. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing may be a useful tool to detect Legionella spp.
嗜肺军团菌引起的军团病主要通过 PCR 诊断。我们报告了中国大陆一例嗜肺军团菌感染病例,该患者在使用莫西沙星后出现癫痫发作,通过宏基因组二代测序诊断。宏基因组二代测序可能是一种有用的工具,可用于检测军团菌属。
