The aim of this study was to assess the performance of mNGS in the diagnosis of TBM, and illustrate the sensitivity and specificity of different methods.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Methods.<\/jats:bold> We retrospectively recruited TBM patients between January 2021 and March 2023 to evaluate the performance of mNGS on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, in comparison with conventional microbiological testing, including culturing of <jats:italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/jats:italic> (MTB), acid-fast bacillus (AFB) stain, reverse transcription PCR and Xpert MTB\/RIF.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Results.<\/jats:bold> Of the 40 enrolled, 34 participants were diagnosed with TBM, including 15(44.12\u200a%) definite and 19(55.88\u200a%) clinical diagnosis based upon clinical manifestations, CSF parameters, brain imaging, pathogen evidence and treatment response. The mNGS method identified sequences of <jats:italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/jats:italic> complex (MTBC) in 11 CSF samples. In patients with definite TBM, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of mNGS were 78.57, 100, 100, 66.67 and 85\u200a%, respectively. Compared to conventional diagnostic methods, the sensitivity of mNGS (78.57\u200a%) was higher than AFB (0\u200a%), culturing (0\u200a%), RT-PCR (60\u200a%) and Xpert MTB\/RIF (14.29\u200a%).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusions.<\/jats:bold> Our study indicates that mNGS of CSF exhibited an overall improved sensitivity over
