Pulmonary Metagenomic Sequencing Suggests Missed Infections in Immunocompromised Children
2018-03-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>RATIONALE</h4> Despite improved diagnostics, pulmonary pathogens in immunocompromised children frequently evade detection, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. <h4>OBJECTIVES</h4> To develop a highly sensitive metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) assay capable of evaluating the pulmonary microbiome and identifying diverse pathogens in the lungs of immunocompromised chil...
