We report 9 patients with invasive infections, including 5 with endocarditis, who were diagnosed with microbial cell-free DNA next-generation sequencing and serology studies. Diagnosis with plasma mcfDNA NGS enabled a faster clinical and laboratory diagnosis in 8 patients. Prompt diagnosis impacted antibiotic management in all 9 patients.
我们报告了9例侵袭性感染患者,其中包括5例心内膜炎患者,这些患者通过微生物游离DNA下一代测序和血清学研究得以确诊。通过血浆游离循环DNA二代测序进行诊断,使得8例患者能够更快地获得临床和实验室诊断结果。及时诊断对所有9例患者的抗生素管理产生了影响。
