The clinical application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in immunocompromised patients with severe respiratory infections in the ICU
5 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Early targeted antibiotic therapy is crucial for improving the prognosis of immunocompromised patients with severe respiratory infections (SRIs) in the intensive care unit (ICU). Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has shown significant value in pathogen detection, but research on lower respiratory tract microorganisms remains limited. METHODS: This study enrolled 234 patients with SRIs in...
