Identification of mixed anaerobic infections after inguinal hernia repair based on metagenomic next-generation sequencing: a case report
| Title | Identification of mixed anaerobic infections after inguinal hernia repair based on metagenomic next-generation sequencing: a case report |
|---|---|
| Description | We report a case of a patient who underwent open preperitoneal tension-free repair of bilateral inguinal hernia and whose scrotal effusion specimen was cultured and tested for metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) because of persistent intermittent postoperative fever. mNGS identified Enterococcus faecalis in parallel with a variety of anaerobes, including Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Parabacteroides distasonis, and Levyella massiliensis, whereas culture only detected E. faecalis. The final diagnosis was a mixed infection with multiple anaerobes and E. faecalis, and the patient's condition was effectively controlled after timely adjustment of the antibiotic regimen. |
