Pediatric patients frequently present with illnesses strongly suggesting infection, but without a clearly identified etiology. Our center has recently added a commercially available plasma metagenomic sequencing assay to its available diagnostic testing. Our experience with the first 100 tests suggests that this technology has good clinical performance with >90% sensitivity.
儿科患者经常出现强烈提示感染但病因未明确的疾病。我们中心最近在其现有的诊断检测项目中增加了一项商用血浆宏基因组测序检测。我们对最初100次检测的经验表明,这项技术具有良好的临床性能,灵敏度超过90%。
