Metagenomic next-generation sequencing for detecting lower respiratory tract infections in sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples from children
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lower respiratory tract infections are common in children. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid has long been established as the best biological sample for detecting infections; however, it is not easily collected Sputum may be used an alternative yet its diagnostic accuracy remains controversial. Therefore, this study sought to evaluate of sputum lower using metagenomic next-generation sequencing. Paired and bronchoalveolar samples were obtained from 68 patients; pathogens detected 67 64 by sequencing, respectively. The combined pathogen-detection rates 80.90% 66.2%, For sputum, positive predictive values (PPVs) negative (NPVs) bacteria 0.72 0.73, respectively, with poor Kappa agreement (0.30; 95% confidence interval: 0.218–0.578, P < 0.001). However, viral detection had good sensitivity (0.87), fair specificity (0.57), moderate (0.46; 0.231–0.693, PPVs NPVs 0.82 0.67, consistency between was bacterial detection. Thus, clinicians should cautious when interpreting results suspected cases infections, particularly regards sputum. Viral appears more reliable; must still use comprehensive clinical judgment.

متن کاملDetecting Selective Sweeps from Pooled Next-Generation Sequencing Samples
Due to its cost effectiveness, next-generation sequencing of pools of individuals (Pool-Seq) is becoming a popular strategy for characterizing variation in population samples. Because Pool-Seq provides genome-wide SNP frequency data, it is possible to use them for demographic inference and/or the identification of selective sweeps. Here, we introduce a statistical method that is designed to det...

The human respiratory tract is heavily exposed to microorganisms. Viral respiratory tract pathogens, like RSV, influenza and rhinoviruses cause major morbidity and mortality from respiratory tract disease. Furthermore, as viruses have limited means of transmission, viruses that cause pathogenicity in other tissues may be transmitted through the respiratory tract. It is therefore important to ch...
