Article Abstract
We report a case of pneumonia caused by coinfection with and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron XBB.1 variant, confirmed using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). and SARS-CoV-2 were detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid using mNGS. Additionally, mNGS detected in blood and nasopharyngeal specimens and was more sensitive than qPCR. The patient recovered after treatment with moxifloxacin. This report highlights the use of coinfections of and SARS-CoV-2, as mNGS has already been recognized to be a diagnostic tool for identifying coinfections.

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in adults. National guidelines by the British Thoracic Society (BTS) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend follow-up chest imaging within six weeks for adults diagnosed with CAP to exclude underlying malignancy. Timely follow-up of radiological abnormalities in CAP is crucial, as infectious infiltrates can obscure early signs of malignancy.
