Abstract
The diagnosis of this patient was difficult to establish before the next-generation sequencing because of contradictive radiological results and negative pathological findings. More sensitive diagnostic methods are urgently needed. This is the first case reporting hepatic tuberculosis confirmed by the next-generation sequencing, and marks the promising potential of the application of the next-generation sequencing in the diagnosis of hepatic lesions with unknown etiology.
