Comparing the diagnostic value of targeted with metagenomic next-generation sequencing in immunocompromised patients with lower respiratory tract infection
30 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Accurate identification of the etiology of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) is crucial, particularly for immunocompromised patients with more complex etiologies. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has enhanced the effectiveness of pathogen detection. However, assessments of the clinical diagnostic value of targeted NGS (tNGS) in immunocompromised patients with LRTI are limited....
