Popis: Objective: Infection is one of the most common causes of death in children with hematological diseases. Here, we aim to investigate the value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the detection of causative pathogens in children with hematological diseases. Methods: In this retrospective study, specimens from children with hematological diseases, who were admitted to Sun Yat-Sen University between June 2019 and September 2021, were collected for culture and mNGS. Results: A total of 67 pediatric patients were enrolled, and 96 specimens were collected. The positive rate of mNGS was significantly higher than that of culture (57.2% vs 12.5%, P
