Determining the causative etiology of culture-negative endocarditis can be challenging. We performed next-generation sequencing of plasma microbial cell-free DNA to facilitate rapid diagnosis and genotyping of in a patient with culture-negative endocarditis of a prosthetic pulmonary valve, enabling early targeted treatment prior to valve replacement surgery.
确定血培养阴性的心内膜炎的病因具有挑战性。我们对血浆微生物游离DNA进行了二代测序,以促进对一名人工肺动脉瓣血培养阴性的心内膜炎患者进行快速诊断和基因分型,从而在瓣膜置换手术前实现早期靶向治疗。
