Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is emerging as a promising technique for pathogens detection. However, reports on the application of mNGS in mixed pulmonary infection remain scarce. From July 2018 to March 2019, 55 cases were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. Cases were classifi...
