摘要

Balamuthia mandrillaris encephalitis is a rare disease with high mortality in the children. Due to the lack of specificity in clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and neuroimaging, the diagnosis of the disease is difficult, especially the diagnosis of etiology. Currently, the evidence shows that the diagnosis of the disease depends on local brain biopsy or autopsy, and it is difficult to detect the pathogens by traditional etiological detection methods in blood and cerebrospinal fluid. We report a 9-year-old Chinese girl with B. mandrillaris encephalitis who was diagnosed with metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). The technology of mNGS can provide rapid, early etiological diagnosis without the need for a local brain biopsy, which can buy time for the early treatment of patients. We also provide a comprehensive literature review on this disease. (c) 2020 Published by Elsevier Inc.
