Integrated Host/Microbe Metagenomics Enables Accurate Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Diagnosis in Critically Ill Children
2022-12-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is a leading cause of death in children worldwide. LRTI diagnosis is challenging since non-infectious respiratory illnesses appear clinically similar and existing microbiologic tests are often falsely negative or detect incidentally-carried microbes, resulting in antimicrobial overuse and adverse outcomes.
