Noninvasive Diagnosis of Pulmonary Infection in Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Patients Using Microbial Cell-Free DNA

2024-01-30

Abstract excerpt

Pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients are highly immune compromised with a significantly increased risk for severe pulmonary infections. In these two case reports, we review the use of plasma microbial cell-free DNA next generation sequencing, also known as the Karius Test (KT), as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. These cases illustrate how the KT can provide early species-level identification of pa...
