Noninvasive diagnosis of secondary infections in COVID-19 by sequencing of plasma microbial cell-free DNA
2022-09-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Secondary infection (SI) diagnosis in COVID-19 is challenging, due to overlapping clinical presentations, practical limitations in obtaining samples from the lower respiratory tract (LRT), and low sensitivity of microbiologic cultures. <h4>Research Question</h4> Can metagenomic sequencing of plasma microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA-Seq) help diagnose SIs complicating COVID-19? <h4>Study Design an...
