| Core Tip |
The large-scale study by Wang et al defines key computed tomography patterns that predict pulmonary nocardiosis. This article argues these imaging findings should trigger an immediate diagnostic shift, positioning metagenomic next-generation sequencing as a primary, not secondary, tool. A new algorithm integrating radiologic triage with rapid metagenomic next-generation sequencing testing can dramatically reduce diagnostic delay, enabling faster targeted treatment. |
