Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of various sequencing methods for cervical lymph node tuberculosis.
Recruited 101 patients with suspected cervical lymph node tuberculosis.
Collected samples using ultrasound guidance.
Compared diagnostic results of culture, X-pert, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), and third-generation sequencing (mTGS).
Analyzed the diagnostic performance relative to clinical diagnosis.
76 cases diagnosed as lymph node tuberculosis, 20 as non-lymph node tuberculosis.
Metagenomic sequencing methods demonstrated significant diagnostic capabilities.
Comparison revealed variances in accuracy and sensitivity among the four diagnostic approaches.

Abstract

During December 2022 to November 2023, this study recruited 101 patients with suspected cervical lymph node tuberculosis and took samples under ultrasound guidance. Clinically, 76 cases were diagnosed as lymph node tuberculosis and 20 cases were non-lymph node tuberculosis. The detection results of culture, X-pert, mNGS, and mTGS were compared. Taking clinical diagnosis as the gold standard, the diagnostic performance of the four methods was analyzed.
