Evaluating the feasibility, sensitivity, and specificity of next-generation molecular methods for pleural infection diagnosis

2023-10-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Rationale</h4> Pleural infections are common and associated with substantial healthcare cost, morbidity, and mortality. Accurate pleural infection diagnosis remains challenging due to low culture positivity rates, frequent polymicrobial involvement, and non-specific diagnostic biomarkers. <h4>Objective</h4> To undertake a prospective pilot study examining the feasibility and challenges associated with molecula...
