Diagnostic Value of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid for the Diagnosis of Suspected Pneumonia in Immunocompromised Patients
2022-01-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> To evaluate the diagnostic value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in immunocompromised patients for the diagnosis of suspected pneumonia in comparation to that of conventional microbiological tests (CMTs). <h4>Methods: </h4>: Sixty-nine immunocompromised patients with suspected pneumonia received both CMTs and mNGS of BALF were analyzed r...
