Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a parasitic disease that can trigger haemophagocytic syndrome (HPS), making its prompt diagnosis crucial. The application of metagenome next-generation sequencing (mNGS) provides a rapid diagnostic approach, particularly for patients with negative bone marrow aspiration results. We present here, a case of a male patient in his early 50s who presented with fever and abdominal pain. Routine examinations failed to identify its specific cause. However, diagnosis through mNGS helped prevent a potentially fatal outcome.
期刊介绍：
_Journal of International Medical Research_ is a leading international journal for rapid publication of original medical, pre-clinical and clinical research, reviews, preliminary and pilot studies on a page charge basis.
As a service to authors, every article accepted by peer review will be given a full technical edit to make papers as accessible and readable to the international medical community as rapidly as possible.
Once the technical edit queries have been answered to the satisfaction of the journal, the paper will be published and made available freely to everyone under a creative commons licence.
Symposium proceedings, summaries of presentations or collections of medical, pre-clinical or clinical data on a specific topic are welcome for publication as supplements.
