| Title |
Encephalitis and Myositis Caused by Trachipleistophora hominis Diagnosed by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing |
| Description |
We report a 37-year-old Chinese man with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) developed headache and muscle pain in the extremities Tramadol was used to relieve his pain. Infectious lesions in his brain were detected by cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Oval-shaped pathogens was observed by biopsy of right gastrocnemius. Finally, T. hominis was identified by metagenomic nextgeneration sequencing (mNGS) in the gastrocnemius tissue and cerebrospinal fluid. After a 12-week course of antifungal treatment and antiretroviral therapy, the patient recovered from the encephalitis and myositis caused by T. hominis. |
