From Culture to Sequencing: Evolving Strategies for the Diagnosis of Pediatric Spondylodiscitis. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
Diagnostic approaches to pediatric spondylodiscitis have evolved from culture‐based methods with limited sensitivity to advanced molecular and sequencing technologies. Metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) enables rapid, culture‐independent pathogen identification, improving diagnostic accuracy, guiding therapy, and reducing invasive procedures
