A Paired Comparison of Plasma and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid for Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Critically Ill Patients with Suspected Severe Pneumonia
2022-03-07
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background: </bold>Plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has emerged as an attractive and less invasive technique for pathogen detection. However, only few studies have demonstrated the need for simultaneous plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) mNGS in patients with severe pneumonia.<bold>Methods: </bold>This study retrospectively per...
